Mokshansh (मोक्षांश, IAST: mokṣāṃśa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “A portion of liberation; spark of moksha”. From mokṣa (final liberation, the supreme goal of Hindu life) + aṃśa (portion).

Meaning, etymology & significance

Mokshansh (मोक्षांश) is built from mokṣa — final liberation, the supreme goal among the four Hindu puruṣārthas (dharma, artha, kāma, mokṣa) — and aṃśa, portion. The literal sense is "a portion of liberation" — a fragment of the highest spiritual goal.

In the Upanishads moksha is the realisation that the individual Atman is Brahman, the absolute. The Bhagavad Gita 5.5 declares that for the steady-wise, sāṃkhya and yoga lead to the same mokṣa. A child named Mokshansh is therefore named with the loftiest spiritual goal woven into his identity.
