Ekanshi meaning
Ekanshi (एकांशी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, ए, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
One part, a single part (feminine form of ekāṃśa)
Also used to mean: a part of the whole, integral part
Ekanshi (एकांशी) is a modern girls' name, the feminine partner of Ekansh. It is built on Sanskrit ekāṃśa, which Monier-Williams gives as "a single part, one part", from eka, "one", and aṃśa, "a share, portion or part". Name lists give Ekanshi as "a part of the whole" or "an integral part", a natural reading of the compound. The name itself is not in the classical dictionaries. It belongs to the large family of -anshi names, such as Devanshi and Shivanshi, that pair a word with aṃśa.
