Rajanishwar is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Rajanishwar derives from Sanskrit rajanī “night” + īśvara “lord, god,” yielding the sense “lord of the night.” In Hindu tradition this epithet is applied to Shiva and, by extension, to the moon-god Chandra; the name thus carries connotations of quiet strength, ascetic radiance, and guiding light in darkness. The spelling with -ishwar reflects common Hindi transliteration of īśvara.

As a given name, Rajanishwar appears in Sanskritic naming across northern and western India and in Nepal, often among Shaiva families and in communities that favor theophoric names. Literary attestations of rajanīśvara occur in classical hymns and devotional poetry, while personal-name use is more modern. Variants include Rajaneshwar, Rajneshwar, Rajanishvara, and the scholarly form Rajanīśvara; related short forms are Rajneesh/Rajnish. Feminine counterparts include Rajnishwari/Rajneshwari. Sometimes confused with Rajeshwar (“lord of kings”), a different compound with a distinct meaning.
