Magna

Magna is a term derived from the Latin magna meaning “great” or “large.” In classical and medieval contexts, the word appears in several Latin phrases that have become proper names in English and other languages. The most famous is Magna Carta, the 13th-century English charter guaranteeing certain legal rights. Another important example is Magna Graecia, the coastal regions of Southern Italy that were extensively populated by Greek settlers in antiquity. Magna Mater refers to the Great Mother, a designation used for the goddess Cybele in Roman religion.

Magna may also refer to places, such as Magna, Utah, a city in Salt Lake County, United States.

Magna International Inc., commonly known as Magna, is a Canadian multinational automotive supplier and one of the world's largest in its field. The name reflects the company’s broad range of products and its international reach in the automotive sector.

In addition to these uses, Magna serves as a component in various brand names, institutional titles, and literary references where the sense of “greatness” or “large scale” is intended. The term’s versatility across history, geography, and industry contributes to its broad recognition in English-language sources.
