Krsnah is Sanskrit in Origin.

Krsnah is a transliteration-based form of Sanskrit Kṛṣṇaḥ, the nominative case of Kṛṣṇa, an adjective meaning “dark, black, blue-hued.” It names one of Hinduism’s most beloved deities - Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu - revered in the Mahābhārata, Harivaṁśa, and Purāṇas, and central to Bhakti traditions. As a given name, it is used chiefly for boys, with occasional feminine usage by literary precedent (e.g., Krishnaa as an epithet of Draupadī).

Modern naming practice usually drops diacritics and the final visarga -h: Krishna is standard; Krsna is an ASCII scholarly form; other variants include Krisna, Krushna (eastern Indo-Aryan), Kishan and Kishen (vernacular North Indian), and the diminutive Krish. Feminine forms include Krishnaa and, regionally, Krushna/Krishna. Related epithets like Govind, Gopal, Kanha, and Kanhaiya are devotional rather than strict variants. Usage is pan-Indian and global, strengthened in the 20th century by Vaishnava diaspora communities and ISKCON (“Hare Krishna”) outreach.
