About the name Ritesh

Ritesh builds on rita, the Vedic principle of cosmic order, plus isha, lord, which is a grand meaning for a very ordinary nineties name. The spelling splits families down the middle, with Riteish and Ritish both defensible.

Ritesh is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced rih-TAYSH. On the NameRarity scale it scores 86 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the 1990s.
