Nishkarsh

Nishkarsh meaning

Nishkarsh (निष्कर्ष) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.

Extraction; essence, main point; ascertainment

Also used to mean: conclusion, result

Nishkarsh (निष्कर्ष) is Sanskrit niṣkarṣa, from niṣ-kṛṣ, "to draw out". Monier-Williams gives it as extraction, and then as the essence or extract of something, its main point, citing Manu and the Mahabharata; it could also mean ascertainment. In modern Hindi nishkarsh is the ordinary word for a conclusion, the point one arrives at after weighing everything. Name lists give "conclusion" or "result", which grows naturally from the dictionary sense of the essential point. It is used mainly in North India.
