Best Answer

"Indiana" in the Indiana Jones movies is derived from the name of Indiana's pet dog as revealed in the third installment of the franchise, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). Also, George Lucas, the author of the Indiana stories, had a dog named Indiana in the 1970's. His dog was an Alaskan malamute, which is the same breed of the dog in the movie. A dog of the same breed is seen in the scene where young Indiana brings the cross home. However, it is not the dog named, Indiana.

In the movie, there is a conversation between Sallah, Marcus Brody, Professor Jones, and Indiana. Sallah asks why Professor Jones calls Indiana, "Junior". Professor Jones tells him (pointing to himself), "That's his name." Then pointing to Indiana, he says, "Henry Jones...Junior." Indiana retorts, "I like Indiana." Professor Jones answers, "We named the 'dog' Indiana!" Sallah laughs and says, "You're named after the dog?" Indiana replies, "I've got a lot of fond memories of that dog."

Well, his real name is Henry Jones Jr. he then changed it to a nick-name after his dog, Indiana, which you can see at the begining of the third movie as he runs into his house.

His real name is not revealed until the third movie, Indian Jones and the Lost Crusade (1989). Indiana was the name of the dog in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), and the name of the dog George Lucas owned in the 1970's. Both dogs were Alaskan malamutes
