Ayaansh
/AA-Y-AA-N-SH/
A cherished part of oneself, read as ayan (path, movement) joined with ansh (portion), or from amsha, a fragment of one's own being. The name frames a child as literally a piece of the parents made flesh, a small intimate compound popular among North Indian families for the tenderness it carries. Ayaansh and Ayansh are the same modern Sanskrit compound written two ways; the doubled "aa" lengthens the first vowel on the page, not in the mouth.
