Ketana is a term with multiple uses across languages and cultures. In Sanskrit and related languages, ketana is a noun found in compound terms referring to a dwelling, residence, or place. The exact meaning can vary by linguistic context and scholarly tradition.

As a personal name, Ketana is used in some Indian and Southeast Asian communities. It may appear in various spellings and diacritics, and is often chosen for its phonetic qualities as much as any fixed meaning.

In toponymy, Ketana appears infrequently as a place name or as part of local place names, but there is no single widely recognized location universally identified by this term.

In contemporary writing and media, Ketana may be used as a character name or a fictional place name in various works.

Because Ketana has diverse and context-dependent uses, disambiguation is typically necessary when the term is encountered, requiring information such as language, region, or source to determine the intended reference.
