Karma

Karma is a Sanskrit word meaning 'action, deed, or effect,' from the root kri (to do). In Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain philosophy it refers to the principle of cause and effect — the idea that actions in this life shape future circumstances. As a given name and pet name, it carries a sense of cosmic justice and spiritual interconnection.

Karma is a name that arrives with a worldview attached. Choosing it for a pet is a small statement about how you understand the universe — that things have meaning, that the love you put into the world comes back to you, that this particular animal finding you was not entirely random. It is also genuinely beautiful to say: two syllables, equal weight on both, the kind of name that sounds good called softly across a room. Female pets named Karma tend to have an intuitive quality, as if they always know what you need before you do.
