Manish (Maneesh) is a common Hindu masculine given name that literally means "God of the Mind" or the one who has controlled and mastered one's mind(representing an intellectual, genius, etc.), derived from the Sanskrit words "man" (mann) which means Mind and "ish" which refers to God or master.

Many Hindu male children are given this name. It is a popular name in central and northern parts of India.

Alternative Etymology

Manish is a common Hindu name, derived from a Sanskrit word - "Manishi" meaning "A genius or an intellectual". This is contrary to the popular belief that the name "Manish" is composed of two words "man" which means Heart and "ish" which means God. Probably this belief arises from the fact that many Indian names that end with "ish" actually refer to God. The popularly ascribed, but actually inaccurate meaning of the name Manish is "God of Heart". One can also read Manish as Mani+esh meaning "lord of gems".
