Etymology of KARTHIK

The name "Karthik" is of Indian origin and is commonly used as both a given name and a surname.

In India, "Karthik" is derived from the Sanskrit word "Kartikeya", which refers to the Hindu god of war and victory. Kartikeya is also known as Murugan, Skanda, or Subrahmanya in different regions of India.

The name "Kartikeya" is composed of two words: "karti" meaning "to cut" or "to carve", and "keya" meaning "son" or "born of". Therefore, the name Karthik or Kartik signifies someone who is born of or associated with Lord Kartikeya.

Etymologically, the name has evolved from Sanskrit to various regional Indian languages, so there might be slight variations and pronunciations across different regions and dialects.
