Arjun (Devanagari: अर्जुन arjuna, Hindi pronunciation: [ɐrˈdʒʊn]) is an Indian male given name, based on Arjuna, a legendary hero who is an archer in central character of the Hindu epic Mahabharata. Arjuna had four other brothers, who were Yudhishthira, Bhima, Nakula, Sahadeva, and Karna. Their father Pandu had a curse that he would die if he ever approached a woman with the intent of making love because he unintentionally killed a sage and his wife. Arjun was at one point the most popular indian name in the US, earlier in the 21st century.
