Ramesh

Ramesh is a common Hindu name. Ramesh means "Preserver" or "the One who Saves from Danger". Rama + Eesha, Ramesh, would refer to Lord Shiva or Vishnu. In shaivism Shiva is considered to be the protector of Rama (one of the incarnations of Lord Vishnu). This mythology is based on the history of Holi shrine Rameshwaram. Hence he is known as Ramesh, Eeshwar of Lord Rama. Lord Ram himself is also known as Ramesh. In Persian, "Ramesh" is derived from Pahlavi origin "Ramishn", meaning "Happiness".
