Chandrika, of Sanskrit origin, translates to 'moonlit' or 'having the beauty of the moon'. This name is deeply rooted in Hindu culture and is often given to daughters as a blessing for their life's journey to be as radiant and illuminating as the moon itself.
The name Chandrika experienced significant fluctuations in popularity between 1968 and 2002, with a total of 161 births recorded across these years. The highest number of births occurred in 1972, with 27 newborns named Chandrika that year. However, the majority of years saw fewer than ten babies receiving this name.
