Etymology

Shiva
Supreme Being

The word Parameshvara is a compound word formed

by joining three words Param + Ish + Vara. The word
'Param' means 'Supreme'. The word 'Ish' (Isha) means
'The Ruler, Master or Owner'. The word 'Vara' means
'The Best, The Noblest or The Excellent'. Thus the word
Parameshvara literally means 'The Excellent Supreme
Ruler or Master'. Similarly, the word Maheshvara (Maha
+ Ishvara) means 'The Great Master or The Excellent
Ruler'. Similarly, Lord Shiva is also called 'Mahesha'
(Maha + Isha) which also means 'The Great Lord or
Master'. In Shaivism all these words are synonymous to
Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva is revered as Parameshvara
Mahadeva and Vishveshvara Mahadeva in Shaivism
Scriptures.
