Pasupati is Sanskrit in Origin.
Pasupati is a theophoric Sanskrit name formed from paśu ("animal; herd; all living creatures") and pati ("lord; protector"), yielding the sense "lord of beings/animals." It is an ancient epithet of the Vedic god Rudra that became a central title of Shiva, evoking guardianship over all creatures and mastery of nature.
Attested in early Vedic hymns and classical Sanskrit literature, the epithet inspired the Pāśupata Shaiva tradition and famed dedications such as the Pashupatinath Temple of Kathmandu. As a personal name it occurs across South Asia (especially in Nepal and India), primarily for boys, and remains in steady modern use. Common variants include Pashupati and diacritic Paśupati; in Dravidian languages a popular form is Pasupathy/Pashupathy. Related compounds like Pashupatinath ("lord of all beings") serve as devotional titles rather than given names.
