Arjun (pronounced [ɐrˈɟun]) is a first name of a male, based on Arjuna, a legendary hero who is considered as the greatest archer ever, after Sri Rama and the central character of the Hindu epic Mahabharata. Arjuna had five other brothers, who were Yudhisthira, Bhima, Nakula, Sahadeva, and Karna. Their father 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.
It also refers to: Kartavirya Arjuna, a king killed by Parshurama.
