Etymology of the Name “Krishna”: The word “Krish” represents the fascinating aspect of the Lord's existence, and “na” means spiritual pleasure. When the verb “Krish” is added to the affix “na”, we get Krishna, which indicates the Absolute Truth.
If we analyze the semantic origin of the word “Krishna”, we discover that “na” means to end the cycle of birth and death, and that “Krish” means “existence” Krishna is the entire existence. “Krish” also means “attraction” and “na”, “felicity”. “Krish” became in Greek “Christ”.
The Name “Krishna” means “Infinitely Fascinating” and can only be applied to God, the Supreme and Sovereign Person
In truth, God has no name, but we give him names relating to his qualities. If a man is very handsome, we say “significant”, if he is very smart, we call him “sage”.

Krishna means “Infinitely Fascinating”, which includes everything, for He is Unlimited and Absolute.
Krishna is God, the Supreme Person in his original, personal and Absolute form.
