Dhamansh (धामांश, IAST: dhāmāṃśa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “A portion of the divine abode; spark of dhama”. From dhāma (the divine dwelling, the supreme abode) + aṃśa (portion).

Meaning, etymology & significance

Dhamansh (धामांश) is built from dhāma — the divine abode, the supreme dwelling — and aṃśa, portion. In Vaishnava theology Vaikuntha is the dhāma of Vishnu, Goloka is the dhāma of Krishna, Saketa is the dhāma of Rama. The dhāma is therefore the lord's eternal dwelling.

The Bhagavad Gita 8.21 names "the supreme dhāma" as the goal beyond which there is no returning — the final liberation. A child named Dhamansh is therefore named with this transcendent-abode quality.
