Yashesh meaning
Yashesh (यशेश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Gujarati usage).
Lord of fame: yaśas 'glory, fame' + īśa 'lord'
Also used to mean: successful
Yashesh (यशेश, Gujarati યશેશ) joins two Sanskrit words. Yaśas, the source of the name Yash, is given by Monier-Williams as splendour and worth, and above all as honour, glory and fame; in later mythology Yaśas is even personified as a son of Kāma and Rati. Īśa means lord or master. Together they make "lord of fame", which is also how name lists explain it, sometimes simply as "successful". Yashesh is a longer, more formal relative of Yash, used mainly in Gujarati families.
