Chandramohan

Chandramohan meaning

Chandramohan (चंद्रमोहन) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.

Charming as the moon (candra + mohan, 'fascinating, charming')

Also used to mean: attractive like the moon

Chandramohan (चंद्रमोहन) joins candra, "moon", with Mohan. Platts' Hindi dictionary gives mohan as fascinating, captivating and charming, and as an epithet of Krishna; it comes from Sanskrit mohana, which Monier-Williams records with the stronger sense of bewildering or infatuating. The name therefore means one as charming as the moon, and baby-name lists give it that way. The compound itself is not a dictionary headword. It is used across India, written as one word or two, and Kerala families use Chandramohanan. Telugu actor Chandra Mohan was a well-known bearer.
