Sukesh meaning
Sukesh (सुकेश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Having beautiful hair
Also used to mean: with beautiful hair
Sukesh (सुकेश) is Sanskrit su-keśa, from su, "beautiful, good", and keśa, "hair". Monier-Williams gives it as having beautiful hair, a description used in the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, and records Sukeśa as the name of a Rākṣasa in the Ramayana; the feminine Sukeśī is an apsaras, a celestial dancer. Name lists give Sukesh as "one with beautiful hair", matching the dictionary. Like Keshav, "long-haired", a name of Krishna, it draws on the old Indian ideal of fine, abundant hair.
