Jamuna is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Jamuna is a South Asian given name from Sanskrit Yamunā (यमुना), the sacred North Indian river and its goddess. In Bengali, Assamese, and Nepali, initial y commonly becomes j, yielding Jamuna; the form also names Bangladesh’s Jamuna River. The goddess is a daughter of Surya and sister of Yama, prominent in Hindu devotion and Krishna lore at Mathura and Vrindavan.
Used chiefly for girls but occasionally unisex, Jamuna has been borne across India, Nepal, and Bangladesh and in the diaspora for generations. Meanings cluster around the Yamuna river, with connotations of purity, vitality, and auspicious companionship. Variants and spellings include Yamuna (Sanskrit/Hindi/Marathi), Jamuna (Bengali/Assamese/Nepali), and Jumna (dated colonial English). A related name is Kalindi, an epithet of the same river; short forms include Jamu and Mona.
