Anang meaning
Anang (अनङ्ग) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Bodiless; a name of Kama, god of love
Also used to mean: Kamadeva
Anang (अनङ्ग) is Sanskrit anaṅga, formed from an-, "without", and aṅga, "limb, body", so it means bodiless. Monier-Williams gives it as a name of Kāma, the god of love, who according to the story was turned to ash and left without a body by a flash from Śiva's third eye after he tried to stir Śiva's love for Pārvatī during his austerities. As a neuter noun the lexicons add the sky and the mind. Baby-name lists give the name as Kamadeva or "bodiless", matching the dictionary.
