Gauransh meaning
Gauransh (गौरांश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
A part of Gauri (Parvati); also read as a part of Gaura
Also used to mean: part of Parvati
Gauransh (गौरांश) is a modern name made from Gaurī and aṃśa. Monier-Williams gives Gaurī, "the brilliant goddess", as Pārvatī, and aṃśa as a share, portion or part. Read that way, the name means "a part of Gauri", which is how most name lists give it. The first part can also be read as gaura, "white" or "golden", or as Gaura, a name of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, giving "a part of Gaura". The compound is not in the classical dictionaries. It belongs to the family of -ansh names, such as Devansh and Shivansh, which pair a divine name with aṃśa.
