Krisna

Meaning of Krisna

Krisna (krees-NAH in Indonesian, KRIS-nuh in English) is a unisex treasure that drifts in on a warm breeze from ancient Sanskrit—literally meaning “dark” or “deeply alluring”—and carries the playful spirit of the Hindu god Krishna, whose flute‐song once charmed rivers and cobras alike. Like a twilight cloud painted in indigo, Krisna evokes mystery and grace, yet its sound is as approachable as a neighbor’s laugh at a Latin backyard gathering. Though it’s never chased the top of U.S. charts, it has flickered gently through decades—an unexpected firefly of a name that feels both timeless and freshly minted. Whether whispered under the rice-paddy moonlight of Java or sang out over a sunlit plaza in Buenos Aires, Krisna invites a melody of cultures to dance together, promising every child who bears it a life of color, curiosity, and quiet strength.
