About the name
Chandra is Sanskrit — "moon, shining one" — the lunar deity who rides a chariot pulled by antelope across three thousand years of Hindu text and a billion nightly skies.
Familiar across South Asia and rare in American records, Chandra offers Luna's meaning with far deeper mythology and a genuinely unisex history.
Two glowing syllables (CHUN-drah). Chan and Andra both hide inside. It pairs well with simple middles (Chandra Rose, Chandra James). On our vibe map it is Celestial moon-side with Mythological chariot and Cultural Fusion range.
