Etymology · व्युत्पत्ति
ब्रह्मन् = पुल्लिङ्ग प्रथमा → ब्रह्मा
ब्रह्मा (Brahmā) is the masculine nominative of the stem ब्रह्मन् — the creator deity of the trimūrti. It is a DIFFERENT name from the neuter ब्रह्म (Brahma), the impersonal Absolute; the two differ only in the final vowel and must never be conflated.
