All about the name MIDHUNA

Midhuna is a name of Sanskrit origin, meaning 'midnight'. It is often spelled MIDHUNA, MIDUNI, or MIDHANI, and may also be encountered as MIDHUNAKUMARI, which adds the suffix '-kumari', meaning 'virgin' or 'young woman'. This name is typically found among people of Indian origin, particularly those from South India. It is derived from the Sanskrit word 'midhu', which translates to 'honey' or 'sweet', and 'na', meaning 'night'. Thus, Midhuna roughly translates to 'sweet midnight', suggesting a connection to beauty or sweetness under the cloak of darkness.
