Why does the main character in Indiana Jones go by the name Indiana when his nickname 'Indiana' includes the girls name Ana pronounced Anna?

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.

What was Indiana Jones first name in the movie?

"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."
