Kunds is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Kunds is a rare masculine given name shaped by the Latvian -s nominative ending common in Baltic male names. It is often interpreted as built on Latvian kungs ‘sir, lord’, an honorific influenced by contact with Germanic languages, so the name carries overtones of dignity, status, and respect. Another reading ties it to the broader Germanic root kund- ‘known, knowledgeable’, yielding senses such as ‘well-known’ or ‘learned’.

Usage is very uncommon, with appearances chiefly in modern Latvia and among the Baltic diaspora as a distinctive, minimalist choice. Variants and short forms include Kund (dropping the final -s) and the occasionally Latvianized Kundis; affectionate diminutives may appear as Kundiņš. Similar-looking names in other traditions - such as Sanskrit Kunda (‘jasmine; water vessel’) - are etymologically unrelated. Kunds thus blends a crisp sound with traditional associations of authority and knowledge.
