Carmania is in Origin.

Carmania blends classical geography and lyrical onomastics. In Greco-Roman sources (Greek Karmanía, Latin Carmania) it names an Achaemenid and later Hellenistic province roughly equivalent to today’s Kerman in Iran; the toponym occasionally inspired 19th–20th-century usages in English - most visibly the Cunard liner RMS Carmania - and sporadic given-name adoption in the Anglophone world.

As a personal name, it is usually treated as an elaboration of Carmen/Carmina. From Latin carmen “song, chant, poem,” Carmen also carries a Marian association via Mount Carmel (ultimately Hebrew karmel “fruitful garden, vineyard”). Adding the -ia ending yields Carmania, with the sense “of song” or “of Carmel’s garden.” Rarity keeps it flexible in gender, though it reads feminine in many languages. Related forms and nicknames include Carmina, Carmena/Carmenia, Carminia, Karmania, Carmy/Carmi, Mina, and Nia. Usage remains uncommon but distinctive.
