It is said that according to 'Brihaspathi Agama' the word 'Hindu' is derived from the first letter 'Hi' from the word ' Himalaya" and from the word " Indu" ( i. e. Indus river). Hence, Hindu = Hi + Indu. There is also a 'Shloka' which reads as under:

Himalayam samarbyayava dim du sarovaram 1

Thama deva nirmitham desham

Hindusthanam prachakshate 11

Hindu is the name giving by Alexander the Greatest to what was known to be the land indu china and indoeurope which is now called India.

in Alexander meaning it meant Darkness. now it means the one who worship the Cow or Cow worshiper believing that its the Cow who gives life and its the utmost reflection of nature. please correct me if am mistaken.
