Vishwas meaning
Vishwas (विश्वास) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Confidence, trust, reliance, faith or belief
Vishwas (विश्वास) is the Sanskrit viśvāsa, from the verb vi-śvas, "to trust, to breathe freely". Monier-Williams gives it as confidence, trust, reliance, and faith or belief in someone or something, citing the Mahābhārata and classical poetry; it can also mean a secret told in confidence. The word passed unchanged into Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati and other Indian languages, where vishwas is the everyday word for trust and belief. Name lists give the name as "faith" or "trust", which matches the dictionary. It is a name that states a value plainly, in the same spirit as names like Vinay and Vineet.
