Priyansh meaning
Priyansh (प्रियांश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Priya, dear, beloved + aṃśa, share, portion, part
Also used to mean: beloved part, dear to the heart
Priyansh (प्रियांश) joins Sanskrit priya, "dear, beloved", with aṃśa, "share, portion, part". Monier-Williams gives priya as beloved, dear and favourite, and aṃśa as a share or portion, the same word found in the modern name Ansh. Together the name is read as "beloved part" or "a dear part of us", and name lists give "beloved part" or "dear to the heart". It is a modern formation rather than a word in the old texts, and is often paired with the girls' name Priyanshi.
