The moon is the foremost symbol of gentle light, nourishment, and serene beauty in the Hindu tradition, and to say the goddess is candranibhā is to affirm that her very form radiates soothing, life-giving splendor.

Candranibhā is an epithet of Śrī Lalitā and appears in devotional imagery throughout Śākta literature. Pronounced can-dra-ni-bhā, the name flows beautifully and is fully usable as a given name.
