Chandrabhushan

Chandrabhushan meaning

Chandrabhushan (चंद्रभूषण) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.

Moon-ornamented; candra, 'moon', + bhūṣaṇa, 'ornament'

Also used to mean: moon ornament, lord shiva

Chandrabhushan (चंद्रभूषण) joins Sanskrit candra, "moon", with bhūṣaṇa, which Monier-Williams gives as an ornament or decoration and, at the end of a compound, "adorned with". The name therefore means one who wears the moon as an ornament, the crescent in Shiva's hair, and it belongs with epithets such as Chandrashekhar and Chandramouli. Baby-name lists give it as "moon ornament" and connect it with Shiva. The compound itself is not a dictionary headword. It is used in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, often written as two words.
