Sharadchandra meaning
Sharadchandra (शरदचन्द्र) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
The autumn moon
Sharadchandra (शरदचन्द्र) joins śarad, "autumn", with candra, "the moon". Monier-Williams gives śaraccandra as the autumnal moon, the clear, bright moon of the post-monsoon sky that Sanskrit poets praised, and that is celebrated on Sharad Purnima. Name lists give "autumn moon", matching the dictionary. The name is used in Maharashtra and Bengal, where it is spelled Saratchandra, as with the novelist Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay; the politician Sharad Pawar's full name is Sharadchandra Govindrao Pawar.
