Meaning: Moon; Shining, to shine

If you love the beautiful night sky almost as much as your little one, why not let it inspire baby’s name? The charming gender-neutral Chandra, meaning “moon,” from the Sanskrit chand, “to shine” or “shining,” conjures images taking a rightful place among the glittering stars and the unfathomable universe, full of wonder and possibility in equal measure. Like the moon’s glow illuminating the night sky, baby Chandra will help light up any room they’re in.
