CARNATAKAM ( KARNATAKAM) in Tamil means Traditional....To some extent even Telugu language conveys he same meaning. The music which is traditional and which transcends in a traditional way through musical legacies left behind by the various Gurus....is called Carnatic Music.

the name carnatic came from the tamil word karnadagam.. which means ancient/antique/old... so everyone used to mention that as karnadaga sangeetham.. then they started saying in english as carnatic music

Karnatic or Sastriya sangeetham ( traditonal music) got its name from the South Indian composer-musicians Purandara das, Thyagaraja,Muthuswami Dikshitar, Syama Sastri and many more descendants. They all hail from South India and hence the name became Carnatic music.
