Manojanath is Sanskrit in Origin.

Manojanath is an Indian masculine name from Sanskrit components mano/manas (mind) + ja (born) + nātha (lord, protector). Manoja is a well-known epithet of Kāma/Manmatha, the god of love, “born of the mind,” and Manojanātha is commonly interpreted as “lord of Manoja,” i.e., lord of desire or master of the mind-born one. By extension, many read it as “one who rules over desire” or “sovereign of the mind.”

Compound -nātha names spread across the subcontinent through temple and Bhakti traditions, making Manojanath a learned, devotional-style choice. It remains rare but is most encountered in Sanskritic revival naming, especially in South and East India. Variants and spellings include Manojnath, Manojanatha, and the spaced form Manoja Nath; related names are Manoj and Manoja. Short forms such as Manoj or Nath are used informally.
