Aneesh

Meaning of Aneesh

Aneesh is a male given name of Sanskrit origin, widely understood to mean “Supreme” or “Paramount,” formed from the negative prefix an- and īśa (“lord”), thus conveying “without lord” or “peerless authority.” In English usage its pronunciation is uh-NEESH (əˈniːʃ), with the stress on the second syllable. According to U.S. Social Security data, Aneesh first appeared in the late 1970s, rose to its highest ranking of 809 in 2005, and then gradually declined to number 919 with five recorded births in 2024. This usage trajectory reflects a niche yet enduring presence—particularly among families of South Asian heritage—where Aneesh has neither flooded the charts nor vanished from them.
