Chandrima meaning
Chandrima (चंद्रिमा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage).
Moonlight
Chandrima (चंद्रिमा) is a Sanskrit word for moonlight. Monier-Williams records candrimā as "moonlight" and explains that it is formed from candramas, "the moon", in the same way as pūrṇimā, the night of the full moon. Baby-name lists give it as "moon" or "moonlight", which matches. The name is used mainly in Bengal, where it is usually pronounced Chondrima. It sits alongside Chandrika and Chandni among the many Indian names for moonlight.
