Shreyansh meaning
Shreyansh (श्रेयांश) is a Hindu and Jain boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Name of the eleventh Jain Arhat; popularly śreyas + aṃśa, 'good share'
Also used to mean: part of fortune, fame giver
Shreyansh (श्रेयांश) is read on name lists as Sanskrit śreyas, "good fortune, welfare", joined to aṃśa, "part", so "a share of good fortune". Monier-Williams records the form śreyāṃsa as the name of the eleventh Arhat of the present age, the Jain Tīrthaṅkara known as Śreyāṃsanātha. Name lists give Shreyansh as "part of fortune" or "one who brings fame"; the first fits the parts, while the second is a looser reading. The name is used in both Hindu and Jain families.
