A part of Lord Shiva
In Sanskrit, this name is derived from the name of the Hindu deity Shiva combined with the suffix 'anshi', meaning 'part of' or 'fragment'. It signifies a spiritual connection to the divine, suggesting the bearer is a part of the god Shiva's essence. It is a popular choice in India but remains rare and distinctive in the United States.
