Amranath is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Amranath is a South Asian masculine given name best understood as a modern respelling of Amarnath/Amaranatha, from Sanskrit amara “immortal” + nātha “lord, protector.” The sense is “Immortal Lord” or “Lord of the Immortals,” an epithet of Shiva, which gives the name strong devotional resonance. It appears across Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Punjabi, Nepali, and other Indo-Aryan languages, with pronunciation and spacing varying slightly by region.

Usage is reinforced by the famed Amarnath shrine in Jammu and Kashmir, and the name occurs in Sanskrit texts and temple traditions as a theonymic personal name. In the 20th century it gained broader visibility through figures such as Indian cricketer Lala Amarnath. Common variants include Amarnath (dominant form), Amaranath, Amaranatha, and the spaced Amar Nath; short forms are Amar and Nath. Though semantically akin to English amaranth “unfading,” that plant name is unrelated etymologically.
