Bhadresh meaning
Bhadresh (भद्रेश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
'husband of Bhadrā (Durgā)', a name of Shiva
Also used to mean: lord shiva, lord of the auspicious
Bhadresh (भद्रेश) is Sanskrit bhadreśa, from bhadrā and īśa, "lord". Monier-Williams gives it as a name of Śiva, explained as "husband of Bhadrā", that is of Durgā, and cites the Pañcarātra. The word bhadra on its own means blessed, auspicious or good, so baby-name lists often add "lord of the auspicious" beside the plain meaning "Lord Shiva". Both readings stay close to the dictionary. The name is used mainly by Gujarati and Marathi families, and Bhadreshwar, with īśvara in place of īśa, is a related form.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Shiva.
