Yatish meaning
Yatish (यतीश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
A name of authors; yati, 'ascetic' + īśa, 'lord': lord of ascetics
Also used to mean: lord of devotees
Yatish (यतीश) joins Sanskrit yati and īśa. Monier-Williams gives yati as a striver, an ascetic or devotee who has restrained his passions and left the world, and also as a name of Shiva and of mythical sages; īśa means lord or master. Together the name reads "lord of ascetics". Monier-Williams records yatīśa as the name of several authors, and the teacher Rāmānuja is honoured as Yatirāja, "king of ascetics". Name lists give it as "lord of ascetics" or "lord of devotees", which fit its parts. The longer form Yatindra has the same meaning, and Yateesh is a South Indian spelling.
