Priyanshi meaning
Priyanshi (प्रियांशी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (modern).
A dear part (priya, dear + aṃśa, part)
Also used to mean: beloved, dear one
Priyanshi (प्रियांशी) is a modern name made from two Sanskrit words. Priya means dear or beloved, and aṃśa, the first headword in Monier-Williams, means a share, a portion or a part; with the feminine ending -ī the name reads as "a dear part" or "a beloved portion", in the sense of a cherished part of the family. The compound is not found in the older dictionaries, which is usual for recent names. Name lists give "beloved" or "dear one". Priyansh is the matching boys' name.
