In section 3.290.5 of the Mahabharata, Karna is described as a baby born with the ear-rings and armored breastplate, like his father Surya. The word Karna, states the Indologist Kevin McGrath, signifies "eared, or the ear-ringed one". Called Vasusena as a child by his foster parents, he became known by the name Karna because of the golden earrings of Surya he used to wear, according to the Sanskrit epics scholar David Slavitt. In the Mahabharata and the Puranas, it is the name of a warrior character. In another context, it refers to a spondee in Sanskrit prosody. Karṇa (कर्ण) is a word found in the Vedic literature, where it means "the ear", "chaff or husk of a grain" or the "helm or rudder".

Karna is a symbol of someone who is rejected by those who should love him but do not given the circumstances, yet becomes a man of exceptional abilities willing to give his love and life as a loyal friend. He meets his biological mother late in the epic, and then discovers that he is the older half-brother of those he is fighting against. He is a tragic hero in the Mahabharata, in a manner similar to Aristotle's literary category of "flawed good man". He was a key warrior who aimed to kill 3rd Pandava Arjuna but dies in a battle with him during the war. Karna joined the Duryodhana's side in the Kurukshetra war. He was appointed the king of Anga ( Bihar- Bengal) by Duryodhana. Karna grows up to be an accomplished warrior of extraordinary abilities, a gifted speaker and becomes a loyal friend of Duryodhana.

Kunti was granted the boon to bear a child with desired divine qualities from the gods and without much knowledge, Kunti invoked the sun god to confirm it if it was true indeed. He is the son of the sun god Surya and princess Kunti (mother of the Pandavas), and thus a demigod of royal birth.
