Origin: Sanskrit
Meaning: Of Shiva
Varesh is a boy’s name of Sanskrit origin and is widely seen as another name for the Indian god Shiva. Touted as “The Destroyer”, Shiva is regarded as one of the three principal deities in Hinduism. But in the wake of destruction, this god is believed to also create, protect and transform the universe. If your bundle of joy has turned your world upside down, Varesh is a moniker that needs to top your list. Since Shiva is also worshipped as the presider of boons, it’s a touching way to ensure that the god will lend an ear to his namesake and grant whatever their hearts desire.
