Vedanshi meaning
Vedanshi (वेदांशी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, वे, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Mrigashira nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Part of the Veda: veda 'sacred knowledge' + aṃśa 'portion'
Also used to mean: part of the vedas
Vedanshi (वेदांशी) is a modern feminine name built from two Sanskrit words: veda, "knowledge, sacred lore" and the name of the Vedas, and aṃśa, "a share, portion or part". Monier-Williams gives both words, though not the compound itself. Families use Vedanshi to mean "a part of the Vedas" or "one who carries sacred knowledge", and that is how name lists explain it. It is the feminine partner of the boys' name Vedansh and is used in north India and Gujarat.
