Shivang meaning
Shivang (शिवांग) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Part or body of Śiva (śiva + aṅga 'limb, part')
Also used to mean: a part of lord shiva
Shivang (शिवांग) joins the name of Śiva, from Sanskrit śiva, "auspicious", with aṅga, which Monier-Williams gives as a limb or member, the body, or a part or division of anything. Together they give "part of Shiva" or "Shiva's body". The compound is not in the dictionaries we checked, so Shivang is a modern formation, one of many recent names built on Shiva's name. Name lists give "a part of Lord Shiva". It sounds close to Shivank, which has a different second word.
