Parameshwara is Sanskrit in Origin.

Parameshwara is a Sanskrit-derived masculine name meaning “Supreme Lord,” from parama (supreme) + īśvara (lord, ruler). In Hindu thought it denotes the ultimate reality or God; in Shaivism it is an epithet of Shiva, while in Vedanta it may reference the supreme deity beyond attributes. The spelling Parameśvara reflects the original transliteration; modern Indian languages render it as Parameshwara/Parameshwar.

Used across India - especially in Karnataka, Maharashtra, Kerala, and North India - the name appears in temple dedications, royal honorifics, and as a personal name. Notable bearers include Parameshvara (c. 1380–1460), the Kerala school astronomer. Variants and related forms include Parameshwar, Parameswara, Parameśvara (IAST), Parameswaran/Paramesvaran (Dravidian masculine forms), Parameshwari/Paramesvari (feminine), and shorter cognates Ishwar/Eshwar/Eeswar; Param is a familiar nickname. The name conveys sovereignty, protection, and spiritual authority.
