Yuvansh (युवांश, IAST: yuvāṃśa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “A portion of youth; spark of the eternally young”. From yuvan (young, ever-youthful) + aṃśa (portion).

Meaning, etymology & significance

Yuvansh (युवांश) is built from yuvan — young, youthful, in the prime of life — and aṃśa, portion. The literal sense is "a portion of youth" — and the deeper resonance is that the Sanskrit tradition often calls the divine itself nitya-yuvan, "eternally young." To name a child Yuvansh is therefore to wish him a quality not of mere chronological youth but of perpetual freshness.

In Vaishnava poetics Krishna is the nitya-yuvan par excellence — the eternally fresh, perpetually playful divine. Yuvansh therefore carries a gentle Krishna-resonance, especially in the Gaudiya tradition.

Pronunciation: yuv-AANSH. The opening "Yu" places it under Mula nakshatra and Dhanu rashi by Vedic convention.
