Carna

Carna is a feminine name ideal for helping baby feel in tune with the beat of their heart. This Latin appellation derives from the root caro and means “flesh” or “body,” and was possibly created specially for a Roman goddess. Carna is the deity that protects human vital organs, like the heart, liver, and lungs. Like Cardea, who prevented evil spirits from entering the home, Carna prevented illness from taking over the body. Artwork often shows a key in her hand, symbolizing her ability to unlock the secrets of vitality. Carna’s feast day was celebrated on June 1st, making the name a perfect choice if baby’s arrival is around this time. But don’t let that limit you, as blessings of good health are something to celebrate year-round!
