View your favoritesWhat does Yash mean?
Yash means ‘fame’ or ‘glory’ in Hindi, from Sanskrit yaśas. Wiktionary records these meanings and the Hindi given name, while the Sanskrit word also carries senses of honor and splendor. The meaning is a documented noun rather than a promise of renown. The longer form Yashas preserves more of the Sanskrit word and can also be used as a name, with a different syllable pattern.

Spelling and pronunciation
यश is read yash in one Hindi syllable, with a short vowel approximately like that in ‘hush’ and sh as in ‘ship’. Yashas retains the fuller Sanskrit form यशस्. The shorter and longer names differ in their ending, rather than merely in how the same sound is spelled.
Also spelled Yashas.
