Chandresh meaning
Chandresh (चंद्रेश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Lord of the moon (candra, 'moon', + īśa, 'lord')
Chandresh (चंद्रेश) joins Sanskrit candra, "moon", with īśa, which Monier-Williams gives as a ruler, master or lord, the same ending as in Mahesh and Ganesh. The name therefore reads as "lord of the moon", which is the meaning baby-name lists give, and some connect it with Shiva, who wears the moon. The compound itself is not a dictionary headword, so it is best seen as a name built from familiar parts rather than an old epithet. It is used mainly in North India and Gujarat.
