Ratnesh meaning
Ratnesh (रत्नेश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Lord of jewels: ratna 'jewel' + īśa 'lord'
Also used to mean: king of jewels
Ratnesh (रत्नेश) joins ratna, "jewel, gem", with īśa, "lord, master", so it means "lord of jewels". Monier-Williams gives ratna as a jewel or precious stone and also as anything excellent of its kind, so the name can be read as "lord of all that is precious". Some name lists link it to Kubera, the god of wealth; that is a natural association but not a dictionary sense. The joined form is not a headword, though both parts are. The name is used mainly in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
