Karsandas is Gujarati, Sanskrit in Origin.

Karsandas is a Gujarati masculine given name formed from Karsan + dās ("servant, devotee"). Karsan is a regional personal name linked to the Krishna tradition - likely reflecting a Gujarati form related to Sanskrit Kṛṣṇa or the lineage term Kārṣṇa - while dās comes from Sanskrit dāsa. Together the name conveys "devotee/servant of Karsan (Krishna)."

It has circulated among Hindu and Jain communities of Gujarat and Kutch since at least the 19th century and remains familiar in the Gujarati diaspora. A well-known bearer is Karsandas Mulji (1832–1871), a pioneering journalist and social reformer in Bombay Presidency. Spelling and spacing vary: Karsandas, Karshandas, Karsan Das; the short form Karsan is common in everyday use, and the respectful suffix -ji may appear (Karsandasji). Conceptually parallel names include Krishnadas and Haridas. Though traditional in tone, Karsandas carries a devotional, dignified meaning.
