Mohinish is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Mohinish is an Indian masculine name built from Sanskrit mohana ("enchanting, captivating") and isha/ish ("lord, master"). The compound conveys "enchanting lord," "lord of charm," or more broadly "one who masters allure." Because Mohan is a celebrated epithet of Krishna, revered as the supremely attractive, Mohinish is often interpreted as referring to Krishna himself or to qualities of irresistible grace and leadership.
Usage is pan-Indian but relatively uncommon, surfacing in modern records from the 20th century onward while drawing on older devotional vocabulary. Notable variant spellings include Mohnish (well established; e.g., actor Mohnish Bahl), Mohneesh, and, less commonly, Monish; related forms are Mohan (m.) and Mohini (f.). Regional pronunciations may shorten the medial vowel. The name appears in Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, and Nepali contexts, and in the Indian diaspora. Possible nicknames include Mohi and Nish.
