Aneesh meaning
Aneesh (अनीश) 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.
Having no lord or superior, supreme; an epithet of Vishnu
Also used to mean: without a superior
Aneesh (अनीश) is the Sanskrit anīśa, from an-, "not", and īśa, "lord, master". Read as "having no lord over him", Monier-Williams gives it as supreme or paramount and as an epithet of Viṣṇu, the god who has no master. The same compound can also be read the other way, "having no mastery", and the dictionary records that sense too, "powerless", but as a name it is always meant in the first sense. Name lists give Aneesh as "supreme" or "without a superior", matching the dictionary's main sense. The name is used across India, and is spelled Aneesh especially in the South and Anish in the North and West.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Vishnu.
