Parth meaning
Parth (पार्थ) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, पा, it is a Kanya rashi name (Uttara Phalguni nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Son of Pṛthā: Yudhiṣṭhira, Bhīma or Arjuna
Parth (पार्थ) is the Sanskrit pārtha, "son of Pṛthā". Pṛthā is another name for Kuntī, mother of the Pāṇḍava brothers, so in the Mahābhārata the word can describe Yudhiṣṭhira, Bhīma or Arjuna, and above all Arjuna. In the Bhagavad Gita Krishna often speaks to Arjuna simply as Pārtha, as in verse 2.3, where he urges him to shake off his despair and rise. Monier-Williams also records Pārtha as the name of a king of Kashmir in the Rājataraṅgiṇī, as a word for a prince or king, and as a name of the arjuna tree. The modern spelling drops the final a, as Hindi and many other Indian languages do.
