About the name Shantinath
Shantinatha is unique among the Tirthankaras for having been a world-conquering emperor before renouncing, which is why Jain temples dedicated to him are so often the largest in a town. As a given name it is old-fashioned and unmistakably Jain, more common in the compound Shantilal among the grandfather generation of Gujarat.
