This is a very common name in India, not unlike the name Smith among English speakers.

Many people in western cultures think only of the Mahatma (a title meaning Great Soul) when they hear the name. Mahatma Gandhi's name was Mohandas, and he was of course a male. Indira, who was, I believe, not related to the Mahatma, was a female. She was the first and only female Prime Minister of India.
