Suresh is an Indian masculine given name that means 'good, pure'. It is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Su' meaning 'good', and 'Risha', which refers to a type of grass. This name holds significance in Hindu culture, often associated with Lord Vishnu's tenth avatar, Sri Krishna, who is also known as Sureshwar. The name gained prominence during the medieval period through various religious texts and literature. Today, it remains popular among Indian communities worldwide.
"Suresh saw peak popularity in the early 1970s with 10 births each in 1970 and 1974, but has since declined, with only a handful of births annually after 1975."
