Kameshwar is Sanskrit in Origin.

Kameshwar is a masculine Indian name from Sanskrit Kāmeśvara (Devanagari: कामेश्वर), formed from kāma “desire, love” and īśvara “lord, supreme ruler,” meaning “Lord of Desire” or “master of love and will.” In Hindu theonymy it is an epithet of Shiva, especially in Shakta/Sri Vidya traditions where Kāmeśvara, consort of Kāmeśvarī (Lalita Tripurasundari), represents control of desire rather than indulgence. Attested in medieval devotional texts and temple dedications, the name has long been used across North, East, and South India and in Nepal.

Notable bearers include Maharajadhiraj Kameshwar Singh of Darbhanga, reinforcing cultural prestige. Common variants and spellings: Kameshwara, Kamesvara, Kameswar, Kameshwor (Nepali), and regional Kameshwaran/Kameswaran (Tamil–Malayalam); short forms include Kamesh. The feminine counterpart is Kameshwari/Kamesvari. Parents choose Kameshwar for its devotional depth and the auspicious wish that the child wield charm, creativity, and disciplined desire.
