Gauranshi meaning
Gauranshi (गौरांशी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
A part of Gauri (Parvati)
Also used to mean: part of Parvati
Gauranshi (गौरांशी) is a modern girls' name, the feminine of Gauransh. It joins Gaurī, which Monier-Williams gives as "the brilliant goddess", Shiva's wife Parvati, with aṃśa, "a share, portion or part". Read that way it means "a part of Gauri", which is how name lists give it. The compound is not found in the classical dictionaries. It belongs to the family of -anshi names, such as Devanshi and Shivanshi, which pair a divine name with aṃśa.
