Parth

Parth is a modern Indian form of Sanskrit Partha, meaning son of Pritha. Pritha is another name for Kunti, the mother of Arjuna in the Mahabharata. The name is therefore a relationship name: it identifies Arjuna through his mother rather than directly describing his skill as an archer.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna addresses Arjuna by several names, including Partha, giving this form an important place in Hindu religious and literary tradition. Parth keeps that association in a shorter modern spelling. For a family choosing it, the story can evoke Arjuna's questions about duty and action, while the literal meaning remains rooted in his relationship with Pritha.
