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. The name Midhuna may also have religious significance, as it could be linked to the Hindu goddess Durga in one of her forms, who is often associated with the moonlit night and is considered the protector of the universe during the dark hours.
