Eshwar meaning
Eshwar (ईश्वर) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, ई, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Master, lord, king; God, the Supreme Being; Shiva
Eshwar (ईश्वर) is the Sanskrit word īśvara. Monier-Williams first gives it as able or capable, then as master, lord, prince or king, and then as God, the Supreme Being and the supreme soul. It is also a name of Śiva. Indian name lists give Eshwar as "God" or "lord", which matches the dictionary. The spellings Eshwar and Eswar are used in South India, where the name also appears in compounds such as Venkateshwar, while Ishwar is the northern spelling. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, the 19th-century Bengali educator and reformer, carried the name.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Shiva.
