Devansh is of Sanskrit origin, derived from the words 'Deva' meaning 'god' and 'Ansh' meaning 'portion'. This name signifies that the person is a portion of God himself. It is pronounced as /deːvənʃ/ with 'Dee' rhyming with 'sea', 'van' as in 'vanish', and 'sh' as in 'ship'. The name Devansh gained popularity in India, particularly in North India, during the late 20th century. It has since become a widely recognized and beloved name among families who wish to bestow their child with a name of divine origin and profound meaning.
The name Devansh has seen a steady increase in popularity over the past two decades, with a notable spike in recent years. From just 6 births in the year 2000, the number of babies named Devansh jumped to 119 in 2017, marking a significant peak. However, it appears that the trend has begun to level off since then, with births ranging from 61 to 67 between 2018 and 2023. In total, there have been 861 babies named Devansh over these years.
