About the name Pinakin
Pinakin names Shiva by his bow, the Pinaka, a weapon serious enough that the name has never quite become casual. It is now decidedly archaic, the sort of first name that turns up on Gujarati grandfathers and in the credits of old Gujarati novels.
Pinakin is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced pih-NAH-kin. On the NameRarity scale it scores 98 out of 100, which places it in the ultra rare band — fewer than 1 in 10,000 people carry this name. You will almost never meet another. Its strongest period was the 1960s.
