The Meaning of Josh

People say there is a lot of meaning in a name and I agree. The Hindi names all have deep meaning. However, the supply of names is much less than the demand in a country of over 1 billion people. So, it is very common to know A LOT of people with the same name

I was flying back from a business trip and got a bag of goodies containing a candy called "Orange Josh". I started laughing and showed it to a hindu colleague of mine. He looked at the candy and said nonchalantly, Josh is a hindi word meaning energy and power.



In fact Ford makes a car here called "The Ford Josh" (see link).
