Rameshwar meaning
Rameshwar (रामेश्वर) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, रा, it is a Tula rashi name (Chitra nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
The liṅga and Śaiva temple at Rāmeśvaram; name of many men
Also used to mean: lord of rama, lord shiva
Rameshwar (रामेश्वर) joins Rāma with īśvara, "lord". Monier-Williams records rāmeśvara as the name of many authors and, above all, of the liṅga and great Śaiva temple on the island off the south-eastern tip of India where, by tradition, Rāma crossed to Laṅkā; it is one of the holiest pilgrimage places in India. The name is therefore read as "lord of Rāma", Shiva whom Rama worshipped. It is used across north and central India; Rameswar is the Bengali and Odia spelling.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Shiva.
