Pramesh meaning
Pramesh (प्रमेश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Pramā, true knowledge, right measure + īśa, lord: lord of true knowledge
Also used to mean: master of accurate knowledge
Pramesh (प्रमेश) is a modern name usually explained as Sanskrit pramā, "true knowledge, right measure", joined with īśa, "lord". Monier-Williams gives pramā as a basis or measure and, in philosophy, as correct knowledge, the accurate understanding of a thing; it is the root idea behind pramāṇa, "means of knowledge". Name lists give "master of accurate knowledge", which fits that reading. The compound is not recorded in the old dictionaries, so the analysis is an explanation rather than an attested word. The name is used in Gujarat and North India.
