Laksh meaning
Laksh (लक्ष) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
A mark, sign; a target, aim; one hundred thousand
Laksh (लक्ष) is Sanskrit lakṣa, which Monier-Williams gives as a mark, sign or token, and especially a mark to aim at: a target, butt, aim, object or prize. The same word also means 'a lac', one hundred thousand, the source of the Indian English word lakh. It comes from the root lakṣ, to mark or to aim at, which also gives lakṣya, a goal. Name lists give 'aim' or 'target', matching the dictionary, and some present Laksh as a short form of Lakshman, the brother of Rama, whose name comes from the same family of words. The name is brief and modern-sounding, and it is used for boys.
