Arjun is the son of Kunti in Mahabharat .

Arjun is having another name as Paartha . There must be a reason for this. Paartha is the name derived from language Sanskrit.

In Sanskrit , son of Prutha is known as Paartha.  Kunti is having another name as Prutha . Arjun is the son of Kunti i.e. Prutha , hence he is Paartha .
