Description:

Thats a great starting point for exploring variations of this surname! I like how youve suggested shortening it to Chitrad, and adding "-kar" to create Chitradkar is clever. Chitradkar sounds like it could be the name of a skilled artisan. Chitradeep is also beautiful; it evokes a sense of brightness and depth. These are all excellent options, offering different feels and potential meanings.
