Deepanshi

Deepanshi meaning

Deepanshi (दीपांशी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, दी, it is a Meen rashi name (Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra) in the North Indian table.

A part or ray of light (dīpa + aṃśa)

Also used to mean: brightness

Deepanshi (दीपांशी) is a modern girls' name built from two Sanskrit words, dīpa, "a light, a lamp", and aṃśa, "a share, portion or part", with the feminine ending -ī. Read together, it means "a part of the light". It follows the same pattern as Devanshi, "a part of the divine", and is the feminine counterpart of the boys' name Deepanshu. The combined form is not in the classical dictionaries, but both parts are well attested. Name lists give Deepanshi simply as "light" or "brightness". It is used mainly in North India.
