Meaning & Origin

Chondra is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, a variant of Chandra, from Sanskrit/Greek roots meaning "moon" or "shining." Chandra is the Hindu god of the moon, and the name carries the luminous, cool beauty of moonlight in both Hindu and Greek naming traditions.

Chondra carries the mystical, silvery quality of lunar names — names that evoke the night sky, tidal cycles, and the moon's quiet, consistent presence. It has a flowing, three-syllable rhythm that suits someone with a calm, radiant character.
