Nilesh

Nilesh (sometimes also spelled as Neelesh) is an Indian name based on one of two deities, Vishnu or Shiva, in Hinduism, depending on which of its two Hindi pronunciations are used.

'Nilesh' means 'the Blue God', and is one of the alternate names for Vishnu, "The Preserver."

Later, the name was also used to refer to Shiva, "The Destroyer of Evil", "The King."

The name is a combination (sandhi) of two words: Neel ("blue") and Ish ("Lord" or "God").

Hence, the name can also be interpreted as 'Blue Head,' which refers to Lord Vishnu or Shiva.
