It's the name of Shiva, the Destroyer.
Used as a suffix, however, it means "Lord". As in, Someshwar, Som being the Moon eshwar being Lord, it's like saying Lord Moon.
Cheers!

"Eshwara, eswar, iswara, ishwara etc." means God. Usually they put the name of the god first and add eswara. For example:
Vignesh, Vigneshwara, Vigneshwari (also spelled Vighneshwara) This is a name of Lord Ganesh, the son of the Divine Mother Parvati and Shiva, the Great God. Vighna means "obstacles, difficulties, hindrances." Eshwara means lord. Thus, He is the Lord of Obstacles, in that He removes and destroys them.

eswara or isvara means controller or Lord or master or king and it could indicate anyone by using any prefix before isvara.
Some of the places where the word, "isvara" is used in Bhagavad-gita in relation to Krishna:
11.3 Arjuna calls Krishna as parama-isvara, Supreme Lord
11.4 Arjuna calls Krishna as yoga-isvara, Lord mystic power
11.16 Arjuna calls Krishna as visva-isvara, Lord of the universe
Different places In Bhagavad-gita Lord Krishna uses the word isvara,
4.6 ajo 'pi sann avyayatma bhutanam isvaro 'pi san . . .
Although I am unborn and My transcendental body never deteriorates, and although I am the Lord of all living entities, I still appear in every millennium in My original transcendental form.
18.61 isvarah sarva-bhutanam hrd-dese 'rjuna tisthati. . .
The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy.
15.17 bibharty avyaya isvarah
Besides these two, there is the greatest living personality, the Supreme Soul, the imperishable Lord Himself, who has entered the three worlds and is maintaining them.
Some examples how isvara is used to mean different persons;
daitya-isvara—king of the Daityas
tri-bhuvana-isvara-master or Lord of the three worlds
jagad-isvara- master or Lord of the universe
In Brahma Samhita, Lord Krishna is addressed by Brahma as the supreme controller by using the word Parama isvara.
Brahma Samhita 5.1, isvara paramah krishnah
sac-cid-ananda-vigrahah
anadir adir govinda
sarva-karana-karanam
“Krishna [God] is the supreme controller. He has a form of eternity, knowledge, and bliss. He is the prime cause of all causes.”
