Rajeshwari meaning
Rajeshwari (राजेश्वरी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, रा, it is a Tula rashi name (Chitra nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Queen, sovereign lady (feminine of rājeśvara, "lord of kings")
Also used to mean: queen of kings, goddess
Rajeshwari (राजेश्वरी) is the feminine of Sanskrit rājeśvara, formed from rājan, "king", and īśvara, "lord". Monier-Williams glosses rājeśvara as a lord of kings, so the feminine means a queen or sovereign lady. The fuller form Rāja-rājeśvarī, "queen of the kings of kings", is recorded as probably a name of Durgā, and the goddess under that name is widely worshipped in South India. Name lists give Rajeshwari as "queen of kings" or link it to the goddess. Rajeswari is the usual southern spelling.
