It is a woman's name. It is often used as slang for a particular kind of middle-aged, self-entitled and demanding woman.

Karen is a woman’s name.
Americans have a joke where we can stereotype someone as a Karen. People in this stereotype typically talk to the manager, are picky, have their own way of doing things, and don’t like being told no.
Basically, Karen could be the name for someone, or slang for the way a person acts.
- English (US)
To act like a "Karen" assumes you are acting selfishly and unreasonably, demanding special treatment because you think you are more important or deserving than others.
Otherwise Karen is just regular name. (One of the loveliest people I know happens to be named Karen!)

A common western name.
But lately, it has been used to label a narcissistic self-entitled demanding unreasonable bitch.
