Origin and History of CHANDIRALAKSHMI

Description:

The Chandralakshmi name is derived from the Sanskrit word “chandraloka,” meaning “celestial abode.” The name may have originated in medieval India, when it was given to girls born during the month of Chaitra (March-April). The name is also popular in Sri Lanka, where it is typically given to girls. In some cases, the name may be derived from the Hindu goddess Chandralakshmi, who is the consort of the god Vishnu.
