“Crest, peak, or crown.”

Shekhar is a Sanskrit name derived from the word 'shikhara', meaning the peak of a mountain or the crown of the head. It is culturally significant as it is one of the epithets of Lord Shiva, who is often referred to as Chandrashekhar, meaning the one who wears the crescent moon as a crest.
