Meaning of "Suresh"

I was surprised to see an article in Wikipedia on the name "Suresh". It says,
Suresh (sureša) is a Sanskrit word which means "Ruler of Gods"; from surya ‘god’ + īša ‘lord’, which is an epithet of the god Indra.

It is commonly used as a synonym for the Hindu God Vishnu. It may also refer to Devendra or Shiva depending on which branch of Hinduism. Its etymology is a contraction of sur + esh: sur means god, esh means king. So Suresh means king of the gods. Suresh also means the planet Sun. Suresh is a frequently used name for Hindu male children. It is a popular first name in India and a common family name in North America and the Caribbean. Variations of this name in Latin America include Sureza, Sureze, Cires and Cirez. Several of these examples are found on the South-Eastern region of the Dominican Republic (La Romana, San Pedro de Macoris, Boca Chica, etc.)
Check the article here.

    sureshhhhhhhh,

    Thanks for the comment. Name will not bring success to anyone. We have to strive for success. And you'll get it irrespective of your name! Work hard and all the best!

    Suresh,
    It shows your effort in finding the meaning. It's allegedly based on truth. It's true that name does'nt gives a man success, we have to run towards. way to go bro.
