I think it's interesting how names like this are more unisex in the countries they are most commonly used in, while where I live in the USA, it is much more feminine. I have used this name for a male character, although I do know it is still more commonly used for women even in places like India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, despite the name being more unisex there.

All this time I thought it was pronounced ka mall a with emphasis on the middle syllable but apparently Kamala Harris pronounces every syllable with equal stress ka ma la according to her nieces.

Actually, Harris's nieces described it as being like saying the English word "comma" first, then adding the "la" at the end. In "comma", the first syllable is emphasized (KAH-ma), so I believe then Kamala Harris pronounces the name KAH-ma-la, first syllable emphasized.

Not a bad name, but in the West, it’s too closely associated with Kamala Harris.

This name is not Finnish. Although the same spelling in Finnish means 'horrible', doesn't mean it keeps the same meaning in different languages with the same spelling. For example, pain in French means bread, and in English, pain means the suffering after getting injured or sick. They both have the same spelling, but have totally different meanings.

As for those of you who downvoted this name and left negative, spiteful comments purely because you dislike the most famous bearer of the name and not for its actual meaning in Sanskrit (lotus, flower), you need to know something:
A website that catalogs names isn't the place to air your personal grievances against political figures, and doing so is petty and childish, not to mention hurtful to ordinary people who share their names. It's no surprise most of you chose to remain anonymous when posting your shameful comments.

I quite like it. Kamala Devi is a pretty combo. The (Finnish) meaning isn’t very favorable however, and the Kamala Harris part? No comment.

Kamala Harris fits the meaning in Finnish PERFECTLY. (It means "horrible" or "atrocious")

What does that even mean? The meaning is "lotus, pale red". I don't see how any would apply to a person.

Okay so stop making this name bad because of Kamala Harris. Yes I am a Biden Harris supporter and I'm not saying this because I want you to agree with me because it's over. They won. I think this name is beautiful and it has nothing to do with Kamala Harris.

The name Kamal reminds me of the word Camel (in English and Gamal in Hebrew). And the root KML in Hebrew means "to wither". Perhaps users of this name might add an additional middle name.

Also means "terrible" in Finnish (this, however, has nothing to do with the etymological history of this particular name).

This name is known as 'peace'. The great Goddess Kamala is known as the bestower of peace. Perhaps the meaning 'red' comes from the red Hindu bindi mark on forehead (third-eye) between the eyebrows, which signifies peace and tranqulity for mortals. Some people say that 'Kamala' means lotus, but lotus is known as 'Padme', 'Padmini', 'Kumudini' (night lotus), and 'Alapadme' (full lotus). So the colour red, the lotus, and peace would all be aspects of a Goddess, so all would apply, yet there is room for various interpretations which is the beauty of Sanskrit words.
