In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Namish (नमिश) is a modern name that we could not find in the Sanskrit dictionaries. Families use it to mean "humble" or "one who bows", and some name lists add "Lord Vishnu". The first part looks like the root nam, "to bow", which gives namas, the reverent bow or salutation recorded in Monier-Williams. The ending may be meant as īśa, "lord", which could explain the Vishnu reading, but no source records Namish as a name of Vishnu. It is best understood as a recent name built from familiar Sanskrit sounds.
