Karna, derived from Sanskrit, translates to 'earned' or 'gained'. It is an ancient Indian masculine given name of significant historical and cultural importance. Karna is a central character in the epic Mahabharata, embodying themes of loyalty, courage, and betrayal. In Hindu mythology, he is known as the son of the sun god Surya, born to the mortal Kunti before she became queen. The name Karna also holds relevance in Indian traditions beyond the Mahabharata narrative.
"The name Karna had six recorded births in the year 2000."
