Priyank meaning
Priyank (प्रियांक) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
From priya, dear, beloved, favourite
Priyank (प्रियांक) is the masculine form of the girls' name Priyanka, and both are built on Sanskrit priya, "dear, beloved, favourite". The ending is usually explained as aṅka, which Monier-Williams gives as a mark or sign and also as the lap or side where a child is held, but no dictionary records the compound itself, so that reading cannot be confirmed. Name lists give the meaning simply as "beloved", which follows priya.
