Karnilla is Norse in Origin.
Karnilla is a modern feminine name best known from Marvel Comics, where the Queen of the Norns appears in Thor stories from the 1960s. It is not attested in medieval Norse or traditional Scandinavian records and is generally viewed as an English-language coinage with Nordic flavor. In real-world use the name is rare, appealing mainly to fans of mythic or fantasy themes.
Etymology remains uncertain. The form is often interpreted as a Scandinavian-style blend of Karin (Swedish Katherine, “pure”) and Nilla, a Swedish diminutive found in Gunilla and Petronella. Because this analysis is speculative, Karnilla has no settled meaning. Possible nicknames include Nilla, Kari, and Karni; related or influencing names include Karin, Karina, Gunilla, and Petronella. Alternative spellings are uncommon.
