Vishwak meaning
Vishwak (विष्वक) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (modern Telugu usage).
In all directions, everywhere; cf. viṣvaksena, a name of Viṣṇu
Also used to mean: universal, all-pervading
Vishwak (विष्वक) is a modern Telugu name taken from Sanskrit viṣvak, which Monier-Williams gives as "in all directions, all around, everywhere"; the related adjective viṣvañc means all-pervading or ubiquitous. It also recalls Viṣvaksena, "whose hosts go everywhere", a name of Vishnu and of the chief of his attendants. Name lists give "universal" or "all-pervading", which fits the dictionary. A well-known bearer is the Telugu actor Vishwak Sen.
