Kundana is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Kundana is an Indian name rooted in Sanskrit kuṇḍana, a term for refining or burnishing metal and, by extension, “pure, refined gold.” Through Prakrit and later Hindi/Marathi usage as kundan (the word behind the famed kundan jewelry technique), it carries senses of radiant, precious, and immaculate. As a given name it is typically feminine, though regional usage can be unisex.

Documented mainly in modern times across North and South India, Kundana appeals to families drawn to names evoking brilliance and purity; its associations with royal kundan craftsmanship of Mughal and Rajasthani courts add a cultured aura. Variants and related forms include Kundan (often masculine), Kundanika and Kundani in some Indo-Aryan languages, and spellings with single or double n. Meanings offered in name lists range from “refined gold” and “burnished” to “adorned,” all circling the idea of luminous worth.
