Karna got called by that name because of the golden earrings he was born with. Karan means something completely different in Sanskrit.

No matter what language a show is taken in, the original Sanskrit terms should be used, not the regional ones that came much later, because Sanskrit is the mother tongue of all Indian languages, and it was the language in which MB was written.

Just one correction. Sanskrit is not mother tongue of all indian languages. There are 2 major mother language groups Sanskrit and Dravidian.😉. I don't think this is an issue to be worked up about. In my mind i am saying karn just I misspell it in English. Ask me to write karn in punjabi and Hindi I would never make this mistake. It is just the same with other names for example daljeet or daljit, both are considered correct spelling of the, same name.

There is no "Dravidian" group.

If you are referring to the languages spoken south of the Vindhyas, then Kannada and Telugu are more related to Sanskrit than anything else.

Tamil has a separate and distinct identity. An older version called "grantham" is said to have existed- but Tamil was always a complete language on its own- it didn't evolve from any "dravidian" source.
