Chandradev meaning
Chandradev (चंद्रदेव) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
The moon-god; name of a warrior in the Mahabharata
Also used to mean: moon god
Chandradev (चंद्रदेव) joins Sanskrit candra, "moon", with deva, which Monier-Williams gives as heavenly or divine and, as a noun, a god. Read together the parts mean the moon-god, Chandra, worshipped as one of the nine planets, and that is the meaning baby-name lists give. Monier-Williams records Candradeva as a personal name, of a warrior in the Mahābhārata, a Brahman in the Rājataraṅgiṇī and a poet.
