Chandrabhan meaning
Chandrabhan (चंद्रभान) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Name of a son of Krishna; candra, 'moon', + bhānu, 'light'
Also used to mean: moon radiance
Chandrabhan (चंद्रभान) is the Hindi form of Sanskrit candra-bhānu. Candra is the moon, and bhānu means light, a ray of light or the sun, so the name reads as "moonlight" or "the moon's radiance", the meaning baby-name lists give. Monier-Williams records Candrabhānu as the name of one of Krishna's sons in the Bhāgavata Purāṇa. The name is used in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, where the final vowel is usually dropped. Families who prefer the Sanskrit form write Chandrabhanu.
