Jivitesh meaning
Jivitesh (जीवितेश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, जी, it is a Makar rashi name (Uttara Ashadha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Lord of life; a husband; a name of Yama, the sun and the moon
Also used to mean: god
Jivitesh (जीवितेश) is Sanskrit jīviteśa, from jīvita, "life", and īśa, "lord", so literally "lord of life". Monier-Williams gives it as equal to jīvitanātha, "life-lord", a poetic word for a husband used by Kālidāsa, and as a name of Yama, the god of death, of the sun and of the moon; it is also the name of a reviving medicine. Name lists usually give "God" or "lord of life". The literal sense matches the dictionary, while "God" is a broader modern gloss. Jeevitesh is an alternative spelling.
