Names are not that important. But since you asked it's called Sanatan Dharma. It's also called Hindu Dharma.
> The persian dictionary define "Hindu" as "Thief",
References from pre Islamic Persia please. Don't give the usual Sindu to Hindu explanation. If Persians don't have a S sound then why salaam didn't became halaam? What about Persia itself? Why not Perhia? Word Hindu is a thoroughly Sanskrit word. It define the region from Himalaya (हिमालय) to the Indian Ocean(इंदु सरोवर).

Refute this please.
