Purna
The name carries the sense of "full, complete, perfect". In Poland it stays a curiosity: barely 40 people answer to it, so most Poles will never meet one.
Purna Pronunciation
Purna is pronounced POOR-nah (/ˈpurna/).
What Purna means
Where Purna comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Purna comes from Sanskrit pūrṇa, a word for full or complete. The same root sits inside Purnima, the name Indian tradition gives to the full moon. So the short meaning printed on a Polish name card, full, complete, perfect, reports what the old word already said.
In Poland the name arrives without a saint. The church calendar lists no imieniny for Purna. A teacher reading a class register meets it once, then keeps it in mind.
Sanskrit gave pūrṇa a large job. The opening line of the Isha Upanishad repeats it: pūrṇam adaḥ, pūrṇam idam, that is full, this is full. The word means whole, lacking nothing. Purna is that word, pūrṇa, full and complete.
