Kamna meaning
Kamna (कामना) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Hindi form). By its first sound, का, it is a Mithun rashi name (Mrigashira nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
A wish, a desire
Kamna (कामना) is the Sanskrit and Hindi word for a wish. It comes from kāma, "desire, longing", and Monier-Williams defines kāmanā simply as "wish, desire", noting it also as the name of a plant. In everyday Hindi the word turns up in good wishes of every kind, as in shubhkāmnāeṁ, "best wishes". Name lists give "wish" or "desire", matching the dictionary. The name is written Kamana when the Sanskrit pronunciation is kept, and Kamna in Hindi.
