Nikhilesh meaning
Nikhilesh (निखिलेश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Lord of all (nikhila + īśa)
Nikhilesh (निखिलेश) joins Sanskrit nikhila, "complete, whole, entire, all", with īśa, "lord". The name therefore means "lord of all", a title that can describe God as master of the whole universe. Monier-Williams records both parts, though not the compound itself, and nikhila is the same word that gives the name Nikhil. Name lists give "lord of all", which fits the parts. It is a longer, more formal companion to Nikhil, used across North and East India.
