What is the meaning of the name Amarnatha ?

The baby name Amarnatha is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced ah-MAR-nah-thah (IPA: /əˈmɑːr.nɑː.t̪ʰə/).

Amarnatha is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Amarnatha is a masculine given name of Sanskrit origin, from amara "immortal, divine" and nātha "lord, protector." It is commonly glossed as "Immortal Lord" or "Lord of Immortality," and by extension "lord of the gods," reflecting amara’s classical sense of "deity." The name functions as an epithet of the Hindu god Shiva, evoking transcendence and protection.

The form Amarnath is celebrated through the Amarnath Cave shrine and its annual yatra in Jammu and Kashmir, where Shiva is believed to have revealed the secret of immortality. As a personal name, it appears across North and South Indian languages and in the South Asian diaspora, sometimes used as a devotional middle or compound name. Variants include Amarnath (most common), Amarnatha, Amaranath, Amaranātha (IAST), and Amar Nath (spaced). Related short forms include Amar and Nath/Natha.
