Chandra Nath Basu is Bengali, Sanskrit in Origin.

A compound Bengali–Sanskrit name, Chandra Nath Basu combines the devotional given name Chandra Nath with the Bengali surname Basu. Chandra (from Sanskrit candrá, “moon; shining”) + Nāth (“lord, protector”) yields the theophoric sense “Lord of the Moon,” an epithet of Shiva (Chandranātha). The two-part given name is common in eastern India, especially among Bengali Hindus, and often appears fused as Chandranath or hyphenated as Chandra-Nath; related diminutives include Chandu and Nath.

Basu is a prominent Bengali Kayastha surname, etymologically linked to Sanskrit Vasu (“excellent, wealthy; one of the eight Vasus”). Colonial-era spellings produced the well-known variant Bose; Bosu and Vasu also occur. The full name thus signals Bengali heritage and Hindu devotional nuance. Historical bearers include the Bengali writer Chandranath Basu (1844–1910), attesting to 19th–20th-century literary usage. Variants of the full name: Chandranath Basu, Chandra Nath Bose, and the initialed form Chandra N. Basu.
