Medhansh meaning
Medhansh (मेधांश) is a Hindu boy's name. By its first sound, मे, it is a Simha rashi name (Magha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
A part of wisdom (medhā + aṃśa)
Also used to mean: intelligent
Medhansh (मेधांश) is a modern name built from two Sanskrit words. Medhā, in Monier-Williams, is mental vigour, intelligence, prudence and wisdom; personified, Medha is a wife of Dharma and a form of Sarasvati, the goddess of learning. Aṃśa is a share, portion or part, the same word that ends names like Vansh and Ansh. Together they give "a part of wisdom", which is how name lists explain it, sometimes simplified to "intelligent" or "wise". The compound is not in the classical dictionaries; it belongs to the recent fashion for names ending in -ansh.
