Mukund is of Sanskrit origin, translating to 'joy' or 'happiness'. It's often found among Indian names, particularly in South India and among the Tamil community. The name is derived from the Hindu deity Mukunda, an epithet for Lord Krishna. Mukund can also be associated with the concept of bliss and contentment. In the context of Hinduism, it signifies one who grants or brings joy.
"Mukund experienced a significant spike in birth popularity between 2004 and 2014, with peak years being 2014 (14 births) and 2010/2011/2012 (each with 12 births). However, the name's popularity has since declined, with fewer than 10 births per year from 2015 onwards. Overall, Mukund was given to 159 babies between 1997 and 2020."
