Kharma is Sanskrit in Origin.

Kharma is a modern English given name, a stylized spelling of Karma, taken from Sanskrit karman "action, deed," the principle of moral causation in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. The word entered English in the 19th century through scholarly translations and Theosophy, and began to see use as a given name in the late 20th century amid interest in spiritual and virtue-style names. Kharma is used for all genders, though it trends slightly feminine in contemporary Western records.

Pronounced KAR-muh, it carries the sense of fate shaped by one’s actions. Variant spellings include Karma (standard), Karmah, Karmma, and Carma; diminutives such as Kar or Karmi appear occasionally. In Tibetan contexts, Karma functions as a unisex name element (e.g., Karmapa), reinforcing its cross-cultural resonance. Kharma remains the rarer form; the inserted h is chiefly stylistic and not etymologically Arabic (khurma "date"), despite superficial similarity.
