Kamalnath meaning
Kamalnath (कमलनाथ) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Kamala 'lotus' + nātha 'lord, protector': lord of the lotus
Also used to mean: lord vishnu
Kamalnath (कमलनाथ) joins kamala, "lotus", with nātha, "protector, lord". Monier-Williams notes that nātha is often added to the end of names of gods and men, as in Jagannātha and Kedāranātha. Read together the name means "lord of the lotus", and name lists often link it to Vishnu, whose consort Lakṣmī is called Kamalā. The best-known bearer is the politician Kamal Nath, a former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, who writes it as two words.
