Sarveshwar meaning
Sarveshwar (सर्वेश्वर) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
The lord of all; a universal monarch; a name of Śiva
Sarveshwar (सर्वेश्वर) joins sarva, "all", with īśvara, "lord". Monier-Williams gives sarveśvara as the lord of all, citing the Upaniṣads and the Bhāgavata Purāṇa, as a universal monarch, and as a name of Śiva; Vaiṣṇava texts use the same title for Viṣṇu. Name lists give "lord of all", matching the dictionary. It is a fuller, more formal form of Sarvesh and is used mainly in north India. The Hindi poet Sarveshwar Dayal Saxena carried the name.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Shiva.
