Name Karma

Origins and translations for the name Karma:

1. Comes from the Sanskrit word (कर्मन्) means - "action, work".

Karma is an Indian religious concept in contradistinction to faith espoused by Abrahamic religions, which view all human dramas as the will of God as opposed to present-and past-life actions. In theistic schools of Hinduism, humans have free will to choose their own actions, which require only the will of God to implement karma's consequences. Buddhism and Jainism do not accord any role to a supreme God or Gods, but the principal belief is the same. In Indian beliefs, the karmic effects of all deeds are viewed as actively shaping past, present, and future experiences. The results or fruits of actions are called karma-phala.

2. Derived from the Arabic word (كَرْمَةٌ) and interpretation is - "vine, grapevine".

3. Diminutive form of the name Carmen semantics - "song, tune; poem; charm; oracle".
