Dattatreya दाऽेय

. .

God Dattatreya is an incarnation of the Divine Trinity Brahma, Vishnu and Siva.
The word Datta means "Given"
Datta is called so because the divine trinity have "given" themselves in the form of a son to the sage
couple Atri and Anasuya.
He is the son of Atri, hence the name "Atreya."

Kashmiri Brahmins are said to have originally belonged to only six gotras, -
Dattatreya, Bhardwaja, Paledeva, Mudgalya and Dhaumyayana.
