Manjunath
மண்ஜுநாத்
Signature Meaning
Manjunath is a traditional South Indian masculine name commonly linked with Lord Shiva, worshipped in forms called Manjunatha at several temples in the region. The name appears to combine manju (a word that can mean ‘pleasant’, ‘sweet’, or in some languages ‘mist/snow’) with nath, meaning ‘lord’, so it conveys senses like ‘pleasant/sweet lord’ or ‘lord of mist/snow’. Regional usage and interpretation vary, so the exact nuance can differ by language and locality.
