Vasishthansh (वसिष्ठांश, IAST: vasiṣṭhāṃśa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “A portion of Vasishtha; spark of the great rishi”. From Vasishtha (one of the Saptarshis, family priest of the Ikshvakus) + aṃśa (portion).
Meaning, etymology & significance
Vasishthansh (वसिष्ठांश) is built from Vasishtha — one of the seven Saptarshis, the family priest of the solar dynasty (Ikshvaku-vamsha), the rishi whose teachings form the Yoga Vasishtha — and aṃśa (portion). The literal sense is "a portion of Vasishtha."
Vasishtha's wife was Arundhati, the model of pativrata, immortalised as a star adjacent to Mizar in the Saptarshi constellation. The Vasishtha-gotra is one of the most ancient Brahmanic lineages.
A child named Vasishthansh is named with this entire Saptarshi-Ikshvaku tradition.
Pronunciation: va-sish-THAANSH. Pair with classical-Brahmanic surnames where the rishi-depth is welcome.
Astrology — nakshatra & rashi
