Matsya Purana: Amavasya got its name due to Amavasu Pitar.
According to the legend of the 14th chapter of Matsya Purana, there was a psyche of ancestors. He meditated very hard. To give him a boon, all the ancestors came on the fifth date of Krishnapaksha. Seeing the very beautiful father named Amavasu in them, the girl got attracted and started wishing to marry him. But Amavasu refused. Due to Amavasu’s patience, the date of that day became very dear to the fathers. Since then, this date started to be called Amavasya in the name of Amavasu.
