Etymology of Karnataka Karnataka is an Indian state. Several etymologies have been suggested for the name Karnataka. The region was popularly referred to as 'Karnata desha' in Indian history. However, historically, the names "Karnatak" or "Carnatic" have been misapplied to refer to the regions in or beyond the Western Ghats (Kodagu and Kerala) as well as to a region in present-day Andhra Pradesh (Telangana). The other accepted derivative comes from the Kannada words "karu" and "nādu" meaning "elevated land", or from the Kannada words "kal" and "nādu" meaning "rock country", referring to the rocky terrain of the state.
