Shivesh meaning
Shivesh (शिवेश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Lord Śiva (śiva + īśa 'lord')
Also used to mean: lord shiva
Shivesh (शिवेश) joins Śiva with Sanskrit īśa, "lord, master", which Monier-Williams also records as a name of Śiva himself. The name is usually read as "Lord Shiva", much as Mahesh, "great lord", is. Since śiva also means auspicious, the parts could equally give "lord of all that is auspicious". Śiveśa is not a dictionary entry, so it is a later formation built on familiar parts. Name lists give Shivesh as "Lord Shiva", which fits its parts.
