Alankaransh (अलङ्कारांश, IAST: alaṅkārāṃśa) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “A portion of ornament; spark of grace”. From alaṅkāra (ornament, the art of decoration) + aṃśa (portion).

Meaning, etymology & significance

Alankaransh (अलङ्कारांश) is built from alaṅkāra — ornament, the art of decoration, and (in Sanskrit poetics) the literary figures of speech — and aṃśa, portion. The Sanskrit alaṅkāra-shastra is the entire theory of Sanskrit poetic figures: simile, metaphor, alliteration and the rest.

A child named Alankaransh is named as the ornament of the family — and implicitly as one whose life is itself a beautifully composed poem.
