About the Name Abhishek
Abhishek (अभिषेक) comes from the Sanskrit abhiṣeka, meaning anointing, consecration, ceremonial bathing, or sprinkling of sacred water.

It can also refer to the ceremonial inauguration or coronation of a king.
As a personal name, Abhishek therefore carries associations with purity, devotion, blessing, honour, consecration, and spiritual auspiciousness.
