Paritosh meaning
Paritosh (परितोष) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Delight, satisfaction, contentment
Paritosh (परितोष) is the Sanskrit paritoṣa, from pari-tuṣ, "to be wholly pleased", the same root as santoṣa, "contentment". Monier-Williams gives it as delight in something and refers it to parituṣṭi, satisfaction, citing the Manusmriti and the Mahabharata. In Hindi paritoṣik is the word for a prize or reward, something that brings satisfaction. Name lists give "satisfaction" or "contentment", which matches the dictionary. The name is used across North India and in Bengal.
