What Does the Name Parth Mean?
Parth is an Indian masculine name from Sanskrit Pārtha (पार्थ), a patronymic meaning "son of Pṛthā" or "belonging to Pṛthā." Pṛthā is another name for Kuntī, the mother of the Pāṇḍava brothers in the Mahābhārata. Because the epithet is used chiefly for Arjuna, the name is often explained as "Arjuna" or "son of Pritha." Literally, it identifies a son of Pṛthā; the Arjuna association is a customary interpretation. Some modern name lists give "prince" or "king," but that is not the literal Sanskrit derivation of Pārtha.
Parth Name History & Origins
Pārtha is formed in Sanskrit from the name Pṛthā with a suffix that makes it a patronymic. In the Mahābhārata, it serves as an epithet for Arjuna and at times for the other Pāṇḍavas, and in the Bhagavad Gītā Krishna addresses Arjuna as Pārtha. The form passed into later Indian languages: Partha is common in Bengali and other eastern Indian usage, while Parth appears in Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, and other modern Indian languages, often reflecting the loss or non-pronunciation of the final -a. As a personal given name, Parth is used by Hindu families in India and in the Indian diaspora. The spelling Parth is an English transliteration of the Sanskrit stem Pārtha; its use as an epic epithet is older than its modern use as a child's given name, though the exact period when it became common as a personal name is not clearly documented.
