Meaning, etymology & significance

In Jain tradition Chandraprabha is the eighth Tirthankara — born under the lunar sign, depicted with the moon as his emblem. In Hindu tradition Chandraprabha is simply the goddess of moonlight, often associated with the soft cooling beauty of the lunar realm.
A daughter named Chandraprabha is named with this radiant-moonlight quality.
