From Sanskrit vedanta (वेदान्त), literally 'the end/culmination of the Vedas', the name of the major school of Hindu philosophy concerned with ultimate knowledge.
A compound of Sanskrit देव (deva, 'god, divine') + अंश (aṃśa, 'portion, part'), read as 'a part/spark of God'. The elements are genuine Sanskrit, though the compound itself is a modern coinage used as a name rather than a classical term.
Vedant and Devansh are given to a similar number of US babies today.
Vedant means Culmination of the Vedas (sanskrit origin), while Devansh means Part of the divine (sanskrit origin).
In US records, Vedant first appears in 0 and Devansh in 0, so Vedant has the longer recorded history.
