The word india was invented by people who were talking about Sindh, Achaemenid Empire around 490 BCE Map.
Achaemenid Empire around 490 BCE and there in the far southeast corner sits a province labeled INDIA and the Persians didn't call it that they called it Hindus their pronunciation of Sindhu the old Sanskrit (orginated from Indus, Pakistan) name for the Indus River and the land around its lower basin the proto Iranian sound shift that turned s into h happened somewhere between 850 and 600 bce.
So Sindhu became Hindu and the us suffix followed the same pattern as other Persian province names like Bakhtris (Bactria) hindus just meant the land of the Sindhu not the modern day republic of India which just inherited this name with the help of Mountbatten.
