Trinath meaning
Trinath (त्रिनाथ) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Telugu usage).
Lord of the three, from tri 'three' and nātha 'lord'
Trinath (त्रिनाथ, Telugu త్రినాథ్) joins Sanskrit tri, "three", with nātha, which Monier-Williams gives as protector, patron or lord, a common ending of divine names such as Jagannath. The compound itself is not a dictionary headword, so its sense comes from the two parts: "lord of the three". Name lists read it in different ways, as lord of the three worlds, as a name of Shiva or as the divine trinity. In eastern India Trinath is also a folk deity: papers of the Indian Hemp Drugs Commission (1893–94) describe Trinath worship in eastern Bengal as honouring Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva as one, the lord of earth, heaven and the underworld, and note that it had reached Orissa. In Andhra Pradesh the name is usually spelled Trinadh, often as Trinadha Rao.
