Prithwish meaning
Prithwish (पृथ्वीश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage).
Lord of the earth: a prince, king, sovereign
Prithwish (पृथ्वीश, Bengali পৃথ্বীশ) joins Sanskrit pṛthvī, "the earth", literally "the broad one", and īśa, "lord, master". Monier-Williams records pṛthvīśa as "lord of the earth", that is a prince, king or sovereign, and cites the Mahābhārata. In Bengal the name is usually written Prithwish or Prithwis in English, while elsewhere in India the same name appears as Prithvish. It belongs to the same family as Prithviraj, "king of the earth", and the short name Prithvi, and it has been used by Bengali families for several generations.
