But are they, in fact, all related ? And, if so, have I got them in the correct chronological order ?
And what about the girl's name 'INDIRA' ? Is that related too ?

You got it, they are all from a common source. The Old Persian word for the river Indus was hind'u and the Avestan word (an old Iranian language as old as Old Persian) was hendu. These were borrowed into Greek as Indos (the river) and then India (the land the river flows through). The term "further India" was used for what is today India. The Persian word was borrowed later to refer to the religion of India (Hindu) and the most common language of northern India (Hindi). The Sanskrit word for river was sindhu.

Yes it is 4 sisters and they live in the next apartment building.
I think they are from the middle east. Indira is there neighbor and friend. Have you tried to goggle it.
