From Sanskrit Partha (पार्थ), 'son of Pritha (Kunti)', a well-known epithet of the hero Arjuna in the Mahabharata. It is a patronymic rather than a quality-word.
From Sanskrit krishna (कृष्ण), literally 'black, dark, dark-blue'. It is the name of the eighth avatar of Vishnu, the beloved deity of the Bhagavad Gita and Mahabharata, so the name is first and foremost a divine name.
Parth and Krishna are given to a similar number of US babies today.
Parth means Son of Pritha (Arjuna) (sanskrit origin), while Krishna means Dark; black (sanskrit origin).
