Meghansh meaning
Meghansh (मेघांश) 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 a cloud (megha + aṃśa)
Meghansh (मेघांश) is a modern name formed from Sanskrit megha, "a cloud", and aṃśa, "a share, portion, part". Monier-Williams gives megha as a cloud from the Rig Veda onwards, and also as the name of a raga; in Indian poetry the rain cloud is a welcome bringer of the monsoon, as in Kalidasa's Meghaduta, where a cloud carries a message to a distant beloved. Name lists give "a part of a cloud", which follows from the two parts. The compound is not in the classical dictionaries and belongs to the recent fashion for names ending in -ansh. Megh is the shorter related name.
