Snehasish meaning
Snehasish (स्नेहाशीष) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage).
Compound of sneha, 'love, affection', and āśis, 'blessing'
Also used to mean: blessing of affection, loving blessings
Snehasish (स्नेहाशीष) joins two Sanskrit words. Sneha, whose first sense is oiliness, also means tenderness, love and affection, and it is the sense used in names. Āśis means a prayer or wish, and especially a blessing or benediction. Together they make "a loving blessing" or "blessing given with affection", the meaning parents attach to it. The name is typically Bengali, and the cricketer and administrator Snehasish Ganguly, elder brother of Sourav Ganguly, is a well-known bearer.
