Hi, the fact that a present-day Indian state uses the name "Karnataka" leads to several understandable mis-conceptions. It is wrongly felt, for instance, that Carnatic music has some sort of special association with that state. Similarly, the word "Carnatic" as in "Carnatic region" / "Carnatic coast" has no particular association with the territory of Karnataka state. The word "Carnatic" is the adjective form of "Karnaad", meaning "High land" or "Black land" as per different interpretations, and refers to all of south India; some interpret Maharashtra (as being part of the 'highland plateau' as being included. Hence the words "Properly, the name "Carnatic" is in fact applicable to Karnataka, the country of the Kannada extending between the Eastern and Western Ghats...." is incorrect.

Carnatic doesn't means Black land or High land
The term Carnatic is the English variant of the name 'Karnataka/Karnata', the term Karnata/Karnataka is used to denote modern Karnataka i.e. Kannada-speaking country as mentioned in Hindu mythology, Ancient and Medieval texts but during the Vijayanagara empire which had its origins in Karnataka and was named after Karnataka because the founders were established in Karnataka and the same name went popular all over South India because of its extension and the Non-Kannada kingdoms too used refer this kingdom as Karnataka which made them use the word 'Carnatic' to denote the Vijaynagara ruled territories but it was not the same before the formation of the Vijayanagara empire as many regions in South used to have their own names like Telinga for modern Telangana, Andhra for modern Andhra Pradesh, Kerala for modern Kerala and Dravida, Chola, Pandya for modern Tamil Nadu
