This is quite humerous. Although his real name is Henry Jones JR.,it was revealed in the third movie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, that he calls himself Indiana after a dog. Indiana had fond memories with it and thus took on Indiana. Indiana Jones' real name is Henry Jones Jr., named after his father, who simply referred to him as "Junior". At a young age, he gave himself the nickname "Indiana" after the name of a favorite family dog. This is explained at the end of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade". That movie starts with a flashback showing the main character as a teenager, where he is already using the nickname "Indiana". That flashback includes a scene in Indy's boyhood home where we glimpse a dog, which is likely his namesake.

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. Lucas' dog was an Alaskan malamute. An Alaskan malamute appears in the scene when young Indiana returns home with the cross he confiscated from the treasure hunters. It is not clear if this dog is his pet, Indiana.
