Midhuna is a girl's baby name of Sanskrit origin, derived from Mithuna — the Sanskrit word for 'pair' or 'twins,' also the name of the Gemini zodiac sign in Hindu astrology. The name carries associations with duality, partnership, and the harmonious balance of opposites.
In Hindu tradition, Mithuna is also associated with divine creative pairs. The Midhuna spelling reflects a South Indian regional pronunciation of the Sanskrit term. The name has a flowing, three-syllable rhythm and carries astrological depth alongside its literal meaning.
