Chandrarupa (चन्द्ररूपा, IAST: Candrarūpā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She whose form is radiant as the moon”. From Sanskrit candra (moon) and rūpa (form, beauty), this name celebrates Lakshmi's luminous, cool, and serene divine countenance.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The compound candrarūpā unites candra, the moon revered for its soothing light and beauty, with rūpā, denoting visible form and splendor. Lakshmi is extolled in the Puranas as moon-like in her gentle brilliance, her grace casting a cooling radiance upon all who seek her. This epithet draws a direct parallel between the goddess's luminous presence and the moon's power to calm the world.
Chandrarupa appears as an epithet of Lakshmi in her ashtottara namavali, honoring her moon-like beauty. The name is pronounced chan-dra-roo-paa, with equal weight on each syllable.
