Lokenath is Sanskrit in Origin.
Lokenath is a masculine South Asian name from Sanskrit loka “world” + nātha “lord/protector,” meaning “lord of the worlds.” The epithet Lokanātha appears in Hindu and Buddhist texts - invoked for Shiva in Shaiva hymns and for the Buddha in Pali and Sanskrit, and linked to Avalokiteśvara in Mahayana lore. In eastern India the name was popularized by the revered Bengali yogi Baba Lokenath (1730–1890), fostering steady use in Bengal and Bangladesh, with presence also in Odisha, Assam, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.
Variants and spellings include Loknath, Lokanath, and classical Lokanātha; short forms Loken or Lok occur informally. Related names are Lokesh (“lord of the world”) and Jagannath (“lord of the universe”). The name carries connotations of guardianship, universal compassion, and protective leadership.
