Vishwanath is Sanskrit in Origin.
Vishwanath is an English spelling of Sanskrit Viśvanātha (विश्वनाथ), a masculine compound used as a divine epithet. Its first element, viśva, denotes all, entire, or universe; the second, nātha, signifies lord, protector, or master. With the long ā in nātha, the literal sense is lord of the universe.
In Hindu usage, Viśvanātha is especially associated with Shiva, notably at the Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi, which gave the epithet strong North Indian currency. As a personal name and surname it occurs across India; South Indian forms often add -a or the Tamil-Malayalam masculine ending -an, producing Viswanatha and Viswanathan. Roman spellings vary because Sanskrit ś and v are adapted differently in regional languages and English. It remains chiefly a male Hindu name in contemporary records.
