History & Origin

Saish is a contemporary Indian compound: Sai, best known from Sai Baba of Shirdi, joined to Sanskrit isha, 'lord; master'. The -esh/-ish ending is one of the most productive in Indian naming, seen in Ganesh, Mahesh and Rajesh. The name is modern in form though its parts are ancient, which we note (said 'sah-EESH').

It appears only rarely in the U.S., mostly in Indian families. Rare, devotional, and modern.

Did you know? The -ish inside Saish is Sanskrit isha, 'lord' — the same piece that ends Ganesh and Rajesh. Joined to Sai, it makes a name of devotion, especially in families who honor Sai Baba of Shirdi.
