# pandas.Index.copy

`Index.``copy`(names=None, name=None, dtype=None, deep=False)

  Make a copy of this object. Name and dtype sets those attributes on the new object.

  Parameters : | name : string, optional dtype : numpy dtype or pandas type
  Returns : | copy : Index

  Notes

  In most cases, there should be no functional difference from using `deep`, but if `deep` is passed it will attempt to deepcopy.
