Himesh meaning
Himesh (हिमेश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Meaning today
Lord of snow, king of the Himalayas
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Himesh (हिमेश) joins Sanskrit hima, "snow, frost, cold", and īśa, "lord, master", giving the popular meaning "lord of snow". The dictionaries do not record himeśa as a word, but both parts are ordinary Sanskrit, and the same hima gives Himālaya, "abode of snow". Families often think of the name as pointing to the Himalaya or to Shiva, the lord of Mount Kailash, though that is an interpretation rather than a dictionary sense. The best-known bearer is the composer and singer Himesh Reshammiya.
