The name Karmen is found in various European countries, including (but not limited to) Germany, Slovenia, Croatia, and Estonia. While related to Carmen, it is considered a distinct name in its own right with its own nuances in usage and cultural association.

Variations in spelling may exist, but Karmen is the most common form. The name is often associated with qualities such as creativity, beauty, and artistic expression, stemming from its Latin root.

While traditionally a feminine name, it is extremely rarely, if ever, used as a masculine name.
