Sudesh meaning
Sudesh (सुदेश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
A fit or proper place
Also used to mean: good country, beautiful land
Sudesh (सुदेश) joins the Sanskrit prefix su-, "good, well", with deśa, "place, region, country". Monier-Williams records sudeśa as a fit or proper place. In Hindi, where desh is the everyday word for country, families usually read the name as "good country" or "beautiful land", a natural extension of the same two parts. The name is used mainly in north India and is carried by the comedian Sudesh Lehri and the playback singer Sudesh Bhosle.
