Omesh meaning
Omesh (ओमेश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, ओ, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Rohini nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
The sacred syllable Om + īśa, lord, master, ruler
Also used to mean: lord of om
Omesh (ओमेश) is formed from om, the sacred syllable of Hindu prayer and meditation, and īśa, "lord, master, ruler". Īśa is the same ending found in names such as Ganesh and Mahesh, and Monier-Williams notes that on its own it is also a name of Shiva. Joined, the two give "lord of Om", which is how baby-name lists explain the name. Omesh is a modern formation rather than a word found in the old texts, but each part is well recorded. It is used by Hindu families across North and West India.
