A portion, part, or a gift of God
Aanshi is a name of Sanskrit origin that signifies being a 'part' or 'portion' of something greater, often interpreted spiritually as a gift from the divine. It is a modern diminutive form related to the name Anshika. In many Indian cultures, it represents the idea that a child is a literal piece of their parents' souls.
