There is indeed a prati (towards etc., with Greek cognates) + ish (to seek for, want, with many Germanic cognates) which means to seek, though I have never seen the word pratIsha which is presumably the Sanskrit form. Is this the word with the meaning `that which is sought after' which you are referring to above? In South Indian transliteration, pratheesh is indeed the form of this word.

Do you know which part of India? The name is almost certainly of Sanskrit origin, but the common English spelling (and sometimes the pronounciation) of any Sanskrit word varies across the different linguistic groups in India. The same happens to names from families which have spent a long time outside India, or non-Indians borrowing an Indian name.
Alternatively, if you know the spelling in any Indian language, that will help enormously.
