Eeshwar is a name of Sanskrit origin, often used in India and other parts of the Indian subcontinent. The name is derived from the Sanskrit word "ईश्वर" (Īśvara), which means "lord" or "god". It is commonly used as a given name for males and is associated with qualities of leadership, divinity, and authority.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The term "ईश्वर" (Īśvara) in Sanskrit is composed of "ईश" (īśa), meaning "lord" or "ruler", and the suffix "वर" (vara), which can mean "best" or "excellent". Thus, Īśvara can be interpreted as "the supreme lord" or "the excellent ruler". In Hinduism, Īśvara is often used to refer to a personal god or the supreme being.

- In Dvaita Vedanta, Īśvara is considered a distinct and supreme being, separate from individual souls and the material world.
- In Yoga, Īśvara is regarded as a special self, untouched by the afflictions of life, and is often invoked in meditation and spiritual practices.
