Neither. Guys have names like Jack or Bill. Girls have names like Lisa and Jennifer.

Devinder is some kind of superhero pseudonym.

Indian guy superhero

That would be original

Kinda like that Indian Spider-Man pic posted here a few months ago. Maybe his alter ego is Devinder Patel!

MEHULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL sucks.

the problem with indian punjabi names is that guys and girls have the same names, so it's difficult to be sure.... but i'll still guess it's a guy.

I live in a city where there are tons of Indians. That's an Indian name and it, like 90% of Indian names are unisex. My friend's mom's name is Davinder.

I know male and female people with the same Indian names:
Harpreet/Harpinder
Gurpreet/Gurpinder
Ramandeep
Ravinder/Davinder/Devinder
*deep/*dip/*inder/*jit/*jeet <--- popular endings

What's funny is you can make names out of just the endings too... inderdeep, inderjit, etc are all names of people I have met.

edit: I should make the point of this post more clear. You cannot tell just by the name. It can be either.
