Chandraprabha meaning
Chandraprabha (चंद्रप्रभा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Moonlight; the name of several women
Also used to mean: radiance of the moon
Chandraprabha (चंद्रप्रभा) joins Sanskrit candra, "moon", with prabhā, "light, radiance", giving "moonlight" or "the radiance of the moon", as baby-name lists also say. Monier-Williams records candra-prabhā as moonlight and as the name of several women in the story literature, and also as a plant and an Ayurvedic preparation. The masculine form, Chandraprabha, is the eighth Jain Tirthankara, whose emblem is the crescent moon, and the name is also used in Jain families.
