I don't know Hindi, but the following $charsArray contains most of the letters from the famous languages, including Hindi. (It's from Laravel Core).
function ascii($value, $charsArray)
{
foreach ($charsArray as $key => $val) {
$value = str_replace($val, $key, $value);
}
return preg_replace('/[^x20-x7E]/u', '', $value);
}
$charsArray = [

Insert the Hindi name in the function and it will return the English equivalent to the name's letters, not translating them.
$englishName = ascii($indianName, $charsArray);
If the $charsArray doesn't include all the letters that you need, or you just need to customize it, you can easily add the English letters in the $charsArray's key, and the Hindi translation/s of it in the corresponding array value.
Thanks goes to Taylor Otwell and the Laravel team.
