Their meanings are presented below:

nama no. 86) sureSah (सुरेशः) (సురేశః)

om sureSaaya namh (ओं सुरेशाय नमः) (ఓం సురేశాయ నమః)

As Lord Vishnu is also the lord of the devatas, He is called 'sureSah.' 

suras = devatas; eaSa = god.  The eaSa of suras is sureSa.

The 'suras' are at a higher plane than us. They have better health and more prosperity. They are also blessed by the paramatma as per their karma.

nama no. 87) SaraNam (शरणम्) (శరణం)

om SaraNaaya namah (ओं शरणाय नमः) (ఓం శరణాయ నమః)

This nama 'Saranam' means that Lord Vishnu is the one who protects all without any discrimination. He is the Protector of all.

nama no. 88) Sarma (शर्म) (శర్మ)

om SarmaNe namah (ओं शर्मणे नमः) (ఓం శర్మణే నమః)

The word "Sarma" means happiness, blissfulness. It reveals that the paramatma has a blissful swaroopam.

This nama "Sarma" also reveals that He is not only the protector but also the presenter of all the happiness to his devotees. As He Himself is so blissful, there should be no doubt in His blessing others with happiness.

nama no. 89) viSwaretaah (विश्वरेताः) (విశ్వరేతాః)

om viSwaretase namah (ओं विश्वरेतसे नमः) (ఓం విశ్వరేతసే నమః)

Now, the forthcoming namas will show how the paramatma is the protector and also how He is the dispenser of happiness. 

The words: 'viSwa' means the 'universe' and 'retas' means 'created.' He created the universe so that we could praise Him, see Him, gain His consciousness, and get liberated. He is viSwareta because He created the universe.

nama no. 90) prajaabhavah (प्रजाभवः) (ప్రజాభవః)

om prajaabhavaaya namah (ओं प्रजाभवाया नमः) (ఓం ప్రజాభవాయ నమః)

The paramaatma in whose service (worship) all the people are engaged with their, body, mind, soul, and all the sense organs they are blessed with by Him, He is called 'prajaabhavah.'

This nama 'prajaabhavah' also indicates that the objective of such god-given body and other senses should be of service unto Him.

nama no. 91) ahah (अहः) (అహః)

om ahne namah (ओं अह्ने नमः) (ఓం అహ్నే నమః)

In whose service or worship or abode, one would never spoil, deteriorate, or degrade, such paramaatma is called 'ahah.'

The word 'ahah' means 'day time.' Just as the day removes our sleep of the night and gives us the state of brightness, the paramaatma removes our darkness of ignorance and blesses us with the the light of His consciousness.

nama no. 92) samvatsarah (संवत्सरः) (సంవత్సరః)

om samvatsaraaya namah (ओं सम्वत्सराय नमः) (ఓం సంవత్సరాయ నమః)

Thus in order to benefit them, He stays with all those who gained the consciousness of aatma/paramaatma.

sam vasanti = one who stays with

As revealed in the previous nama of 'ahah' He stays with all those whom He likes and blesses them with His consciousness. As He stays with them without leaving them just like a close friend, He is called samvatsara.

nama no. 93) vyaaLah (व्यालः) (వ్యాళః)

om vyaaLaaya namah (ओं व्यालाया नमः) (ఓం వ్యాళాయ నమః)

'vaaLah' means the one who takes His devotees closer to Him.

When Vibhishana approached Sri Rama seeking His blessings and protection, all the vanara warriors including Sugriva suggested that Vibhishana should be trusted as he was the brother of Ravana. However, Sri Rama received Vibhishana, His devotee and promised him His protection.

nama no. 94) pratyayah (प्रत्ययः) (ప్రత్యయః)

om pratyaaya namah (ओं प्रत्याय नमः) (ఓం ప్రత్యాయ నమః)

'pratyaya' means 'trust.' The nama 'pratyayah' means that He makes his devotees develop trust in Him.

The paramaatma makes us not only learn about Him but also develop a deep trust in Him that He is the protector of us.

nama no. 95) sarva darSanah (सर्व दर्शनः) (సర్వ దర్శనః)

om sarvadarSanaaya namah (ओं सर्वदर्शनाया नमः) (ఓం సర్వదర్శనాయ నమః)

Thus, as He reveals His glory and splendour without hiding anything to those who trust in Him, He is called 'sarvadarSanah.'

He gives all those whom He most dearly loves and whom He would like to bless with His most divine appearance.
