Ilesh meaning
Ilesh (इलेश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Meaning today
Lord of the earth
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Ilesh (इलेश) joins Sanskrit ilā, an old word for the earth that also means flow and speech, with īśa, "lord, master". Read together, the parts give the meaning name lists offer, "lord of the earth", sometimes simplified to "king". Monier-Williams does not record ileśa as a word, so the meaning is built from its parts. The name is short and easy to say in any Indian language.
