India is spelt the same way in Irish 'as gaeilge' except that the definite article is used in front of it:
An India
Tíortha an Domhain (Countries of the world)

Are you talking about the country or someone's given name? In Gaelic-speaking places, ppl usually have an English name and a Gaelic name, if the 2 aren't easily interchangeable (like "Ian" for example). Some examples would be Hector (in English) and Eachann (in Gaelic) or James (in English) and Seumas (in Gaelic). Traditionally there have been set pairs, but recently more modern English names or names from different cultures have been included as well. So a traditional Gaelic name can have more than one English equivalent nowadays. The only name I can think of that sounds the most like India is the name "Eithne" which is actually the Gaelic spelling of "Enya" (the Irish singer). That's basically how it's pronounced too.
