"The Kurgan people" and "the Kurgan culture" are just archeology terms. "Kurgan" is not an ethnonym. "Kurgan" is a loan word in Russian meaning "hill". Archeologists found that culture "under the hills" and thus gave it that name.
Nevertheless, there is a personal name Kurgan. It probably has either Turkic or Iranian origin. Its meaning is unknown to me.
