Pragnesh meaning
Pragnesh (प्रज्ञेश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Prajñā, wisdom, intelligence + īśa, lord: lord of wisdom
Also used to mean: wise, intelligent
Pragnesh (प्रज्ञेश) joins Sanskrit prajñā, "wisdom, intelligence, knowledge", with īśa, "lord". The spelling reflects the way Gujarati and Marathi speakers say the jñ sound, as "gn". Monier-Williams records prajñā as wisdom and judgment, and also as wisdom personified as the goddess of arts and eloquence, Sarasvati. Name lists give "wise", "intelligent" or "lord of wisdom", which fits the two parts. The compound is a modern name rather than a word in the old texts, and is used by Gujarati families.
