The word "Indiana" comes from English, derived from the Latin word "Indianus" meaning "of the Indians". The name was given to the state of Indiana in the United States.
The main character, Indiana Jones, is named after his childhood dog, which was named Indiana. The name does not have any connection to the girls' name "Ana," as it is simply a nickname derived from his home state. Additionally, the character's full name is Dr. Henry Walton Jones Jr., and "Indiana" serves as a distinct and memorable identity that fits his adventurous persona. The choice of the name adds to the character's rugged charm and reflects his adventurous spirit.

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".
