Tejaswansh (तेजस्वांश, IAST: tejasvāṃśa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “A portion of the radiant; spark of tejasvī”. From tejasvī (radiant, possessed of inner fire) + aṃśa (portion).

Meaning, etymology & significance

Tejaswansh (तेजस्वांश) is built from tejasvī — possessed of tejas, radiant, full of inner fire — and aṃśa, portion. The Sanskrit tejas is one of the great virtue-words of the Bhagavad Gita; chapter 16.3 lists tejas among the daivī sampad, the divine virtues.

The Bhagavad Gita 10.41 declares that "whatever is endowed with tejas (brilliance), śrī (auspiciousness) or ūrjita (strength) is a portion of My own splendour." A child named Tejaswansh is therefore named as such a portion — a tejas-bearing fragment of the cosmic radiance.
