Nikesh

Nikesh is a male given name of Indian origin, derived from Sanskrit. It is a compound of 'nisha' (night) and 'isha' (lord, ruler). The name is often interpreted as 'God of the night' or 'Lord of the night,' sometimes associated with the moon or a deity presiding over the night.

The name is primarily used in India and among the Indian diaspora. While not as ancient as some other Sanskrit names, its components have deep roots in Hindu mythology and philosophy, making it a name with traditional resonance. It conveys a sense of calm, mystery, and authority associated with the night.
