Prajesh meaning
Prajesh (प्रजेश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Lord of creatures, the god who presides over offspring; a king
Also used to mean: leader of men
Prajesh (प्रजेश) joins Sanskrit prajā, "offspring, creatures, people", with īśa, "lord". Monier-Williams gives it as "lord of creatures", the god who presides over the birth of offspring, and as "lord of the people", a prince or king, citing the Bhagavata Purana and Kalidasa's Raghuvamsha. It is close in meaning to Prajapati, the creator, which is why some name lists connect it with Brahma. Name lists give "lord of creatures" or "leader of men", which match the dictionary. The name is used in India and Nepal.
