Chandrapal meaning
Chandrapal (चंद्रपाल) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Guardian of the moon (candra + pāla, 'guard, protector'); a hero's name
Chandrapal (चंद्रपाल) is Sanskrit candra-pāla, from candra, "moon", and pāla, which Monier-Williams gives as a guard, protector or keeper, and also a king or prince. The dictionary records Candrapāla as the name of a hero in the Vīracarita. Baby-name lists give the name as "guardian of the moon", a direct reading of the parts. It is a traditional North Indian name, and Punjabi and Haryanvi families often write it Chanderpal.
