Someshwaras is a modern, Latin-script variant of the Sanskrit name Somēśvara (Someshvara), formed from soma “moon, sacred elixir” + īśvara “lord,” yielding the meaning “Lord of the Moon” or “Lord of Soma.” As an epithet of the god Shiva, the name has deep roots in Hindu tradition and appears in inscriptions, temple dedications (e.g., Someshwara temples across Karnataka and Tamil Nadu), and royal records - most notably the Western Chalukya kings Someshvara I and II (11th–12th centuries). It remains in use across India, especially in the south.

Common spellings and variants include Someshvara, Someshwara, Somesvara, and Someshwar; nicknames and related short forms are Som, Somu, and (E)shwar. A feminine counterpart, Someshwari/Someshvari, also occurs. The final -s in Someshwaras can reflect a modernized or diaspora-influenced ending, sometimes seen where masculine names adopt Latinate or Baltic-style -s terminations.
