A modern compound of Shiva and amsha (अंश, 'portion/part'), read as 'a part of Lord Shiva'. A contemporary devotional coinage rather than a classically attested name.
From the Sanskrit नील (nīla), 'dark blue, indigo, sapphire'. A genuine classical colour word, also the root of 'neelam' (sapphire). Note: the similar-looking English/Irish name Neil (from Gaelic Niall) is a separate, unrelated name.
Shivansh and Neel are given to a similar number of US babies today.
Shivansh means A part of Shiva (sanskrit origin), while Neel means Dark blue, sapphire (sanskrit origin).
In US records, Shivansh first appears in 0 and Neel in 0, so Shivansh has the longer recorded history.
