What is the meaning of the name Chandea ?

Chandea is in Origin.

Chandea is a modern, multicultural feminine name most plausibly formed by blending Sanskrit-rooted Chan-/Chand- (as in Chandra or Chanda, from candra “moon; shining”) with Latin dea “goddess.” As such, it is often interpreted as “moon goddess” or “radiant goddess,” though “moon” and “passion/shine” are also defensible readings via the Chand- element. It can equally be seen as a creative respelling of Chandra or an -ea elaboration influenced by French-style endings.

The name appears rarely in English-speaking records from the late 20th century onward and has not been broadly ranked in national popularity charts, fitting a wider trend of inventive, lyrical coinages. Variants and related forms include Chandra, Chanda, Chandi, Chandee, Chandeah, and Dea, with masculine counterparts Chander/Chandra. Cultural echoes point to South Asian lunar symbolism combined with the classical “goddess” nuance, giving Chandea a luminous, divine undertone.
