From Old Japanese. Compound of (kari, borrowing; provisional thing, cognate with verb 借る karu, “to borrow”, the Old Japanese form of modern 借りる kariru) +‎ (na, name, character), from the way that Chinese characters were borrowed for their phonetic values to spell out the sounds of native Japanese words.[1][2]

In contrast to 真名 (mana, true name, true character), a synonym for 漢字 (kanji), indicating Chinese characters used for the meaning instead of for their sound.[1][2]

From Middle Chinese 假名 (literally “borrowed; false + name”) 假名 (X mjieng, literally borrowed; false + name). The goon reading, so probably an earlier borrowing from Chinese. Compare modern Min Nan reading ké-miâ.
