Shivanshi meaning
Shivanshi (शिवांशी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
A part of Śiva (śiva + aṃśa 'share, portion')
Also used to mean: part of shiva, belonging to shiva
Shivanshi (शिवांशी) is a modern girls' name built from Sanskrit śiva and aṃśa. Monier-Williams glosses śiva as auspicious, propitious, gracious and kind, and as the name of the god Śiva, "the Auspicious One"; aṃśa, the first word in his dictionary, means a share, portion or part. Together they give "a portion of Śiva", and the ending -ī makes it feminine. The compound itself is not a dictionary headword. Name lists give "part of Shiva" or "belonging to Shiva", which fit its parts. Shivansh is the matching boys' name.
