Someshvar is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Someshvar is a masculine Sanskrit name from Soma "moon, sacred elixir" + Ishvara "lord," yielding "Lord of the Moon," a revered epithet of the god Shiva. As a theophoric personal name, it appears throughout India and Nepal, especially in southern languages where -eshwara/-eswara endings are common. The name evokes lunar serenity and Shaiva devotion; its cultural resonance is reinforced by Somvar (Monday), a day traditionally dedicated to Shiva.
Attested in medieval records, it was borne by Western Chalukya rulers Someshvara I and II and by Someshvara III, author of the Manasollasa. The name also titles many Shiva shrines, such as the Someshwara Temple at Halasuru. Common variants include Someshwara, Somesvara, Someswara, and Someshwar; related short forms are Som and Somesh, with Eshwar/Easwar as regional derivatives.
