Parameshvar is Hindu, Sanskrit in Origin.
Parameshvar is a masculine name from Sanskrit Parameśvara (parama “supreme” + īśvara “lord”), literally “Supreme Lord.” In Hindu philosophy and devotion it denotes the highest God and is a revered epithet of Shiva (and, in some traditions, of Vishnu). The word appears widely in classical Sanskrit literature and temple inscriptions, and in North Indian speech the final –a is often dropped, yielding Parameshvar.
As a personal name it has long been used across the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Notable bearers include Parameśvara (c. 1380–1460), the Kerala astronomer-mathematician, and Parameswara, the 15th-century founder of the Melaka Sultanate. Common variants and spellings: Parameshwar/Parmeshwar, Parameshvara/Paramesvara, Parameshwara/Parameswara, Parameswar, and Parameshwor (Nepali); the short form Parmesh also occurs. A feminine counterpart is Parameshwari. The name remains popular in Hindi, Marathi, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, and Nepali communities.
