Amaresh meaning
Amaresh (अमरेश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Lord of the gods (Indra); a name of Shiva
Also used to mean: lord of the immortals
Amaresh (अमरेश) is Sanskrit amareśa, made of amara, "immortal" or "a god", and īśa, "lord". Monier-Williams gives it as another word for amarapa, "lord of the gods", a title of Indra, and also as a name of Śiva or Rudra in the Rāmāyaṇa. Baby-name lists give it as "lord of the immortals" and link it to Indra, which matches the dictionary. The shorter spelling Amresh is also used.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Shiva.
