Umanath meaning
Umanath (उमानाथ) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, उ, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Umā's husband, an epithet of Shiva
Also used to mean: lord of Uma, Lord Shiva
Umanath (उमानाथ) is the Sanskrit umānātha, which Monier-Williams gives as "Umā's husband", a name of Śiva. Umā is Pārvatī, and nātha means protector or lord, the same ending found in Somnath, Kedarnath and Vishwanath. It belongs to a large family of Śiva names built on Umā, alongside Umapati, Umakant and Umesh, which all mean much the same thing. Name lists give Umanath as "lord of Uma" or "Lord Shiva", matching the dictionary.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Shiva.
