Meaning and origin of Agnivesh
Agnivesh comes from Agnivesha, the name of an ancient sage. It combines agni, 'fire', with vesha, usually read as 'dwelling' or 'appearance', so it is explained either as 'abode of fire' or 'one who looks like fire'. The sage Agnivesha was a pupil of Atreya and is credited with an early Ayurvedic treatise that Charaka later revised into the Charaka Samhita. Modern bearers include the Indian activist Swami Agnivesh.
