Shresth meaning
Shresth (श्रेष्ठ) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Best, most excellent, first, chief; most beautiful; most auspicious
Also used to mean: the best
Shresth (श्रेष्ठ) is Sanskrit śreṣṭha, the superlative that pairs with śreyas, "better". Monier-Williams gives most splendid or most beautiful, most excellent, best, first or chief, and also most auspicious, and oldest or senior; as a masculine noun it means a king or a Brahman, and it is a name of Viṣṇu or Kubera. The Nepali and Newar surname Shrestha comes from the same word. Name lists give Shresth as "the best" or "excellent", matching the dictionary.
