Vageesh meaning
Vageesh (वागीश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, वा, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Rohini nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Master of language, eloquent; a poet; a name of Brihaspati and Brahma
Also used to mean: lord of speech, master of words
Vageesh (वागीश) joins Sanskrit vāc, "speech, voice", and īśa, "lord", so that vāgīśa is "lord of speech". Monier-Williams gives it as one who is a master of language: eloquent, an orator, an author or a poet, and notes that it was often added to the names of scholars as a title. It is also a name of Bṛhaspati, the teacher of the gods and the planet Jupiter, and of Brahmā, while the feminine vāgīśā is Saraswati, goddess of learning. Name lists give it as "lord of speech" or "master of words", matching the dictionary. In South India it is often spelled Vagish or Vageesha.
