What is the meaning of the name Partha ?

The baby name Partha is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced PAR-tha (IPA: /ˈpərt̪ʰə/).

Partha is Sanskrit in Origin.

Partha is a masculine Indian name from Sanskrit Pārtha (पार्थ), “son of Pritha (Kunti)”; an epithet of the hero Arjuna in the Mahabharata. Because Arjuna embodies courage, skill in archery, and adherence to dharma, the name carries associations of valor and moral resolve. Krishna addresses Arjuna as Pārtha in the Bhagavad Gita, further cementing the name’s spiritual resonance.

Used across Hindu communities for centuries, it remains popular in Bengal, Assam, Odisha, and South India and among the diaspora. Variants and cognates include Parth (shortened North Indian/Gujarati form) and Partho (Bengali). Related compounds draw on the same root, notably Parthasarathy/Parthasarathi (“charioteer of Partha,” an epithet of Krishna). Alternative transcription with macron, Pārtha, appears in scholarly contexts. The name sometimes features in compound given names (e.g., Partha Chandra), reflecting classical Sanskrit naming patterns.
