KOTLA: A Names Tale.

My search through databases and records came up empty.

Description:

This names a big deal – a super important god, one of Vishnus forms. People really worship this avatar. Krishna, often seen as a brother or close friend, is another important god in the family. Big festivals like Janmashtami (this names birthday bash!) and Holi (a crazy fun color fest often linked to this names playful side) celebrate this name. There are also tons of other festivals celebrating this names amazing deeds.

Its more likely a last name or a place name than a first name. So, finding common variations is tough. Using it as a middle name, maybe shortened, is a possibility, but thats just guessing.
