Madhuchhanda meaning
Madhuchhanda (मधुच्छन्दा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage).
'sweet metre'; name of a Vedic seer, son of Viśvāmitra
Madhuchhanda (মধুচ্ছন্দা, मधुच्छन्दा) joins madhu, "sweet, honey", and chandas, "metre, a sacred hymn", so it suggests "sweet verse". In Monier-Williams the compound madhucchandas is the name of a Vedic seer, one of the sons of Viśvāmitra, and tradition credits him with the first hymns of the Rigveda, beginning with the hymn to Agni. Bengali families use the feminine form Madhuchhanda as a girl's name for its literary sound. Baby-name lists explain it as "a pleasing verse", which fits the meaning of its parts.
