The word Hindu came from the word Sindhu which meant those who lived on the other side of the Indus river. The Persian pronounced the Sindhu as Hindus, and all people living on the other side of the river Sindhu were called by them as Hindus.
This is also the place that the religious belief of reincarnation started. The Religion was named after the region it originated from just as Judaism is named after the region it originated from.
Websters defines it as a native or inhabitant of India, but I disagree and would say that that would be an Indian, not a Hindu. It also says that a Hindu is a follower of Hinduism, but the name Hinduism came after Hindu so I am not in full agreement with that either. I would say it doesn't really have a definition that isn't circular so it can't really be defined.
