Lokanath (लोकनाथ, IAST: lokanātha) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Lord of the worlds; protector of all beings”. Compound of loka (world) + nātha (lord); an epithet of both Vishnu and Avalokiteshvara.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Lokanath (लोकनाथ) is built from loka (world, plane of existence) + nātha (lord). The literal sense is "lord of the worlds" — one of the principal epithets of Vishnu in the Vishnu Sahasranama and of Avalokiteshvara in Mahayana Buddhism.
In Hindu cosmology there are fourteen lokas (seven above and seven below) — and the lokanath is the lord of all of them. The Bhagavad Gita 5.29 names Krishna as "lokanāth" — friend of all beings.
A child named Lokanath is therefore named with this universal-protector tradition.
Pronunciation: lok-NAATH. Pair with classical surnames.
Astrology — nakshatra & rashi
