The father's name is Pandu. His two wives were Kunti and Madri. I cannot find reference to Pancha as one of the brothers; I believe this is a word describing a geographic region, or something similar. See link for more. There is a place called Pancha Pandava Rathas. Father's name is Pandu. He had two wives. One Kunti another Maadri. Kunti gave birth to Dharmaraya, Bheema and Arjuna. Maadri gave birth to Nakula and Sahadeva. these five together are called Pandava. Pancha means "five" in Sanskrit. Five Pandavas mean pancha pandavas.
