Chandra Nath Roy is Bengali, Sanskrit in Origin.
Chandra Nath combines Sanskrit candra “moon” and nātha “lord, protector,” yielding Chandranātha, “Lord of the Moon,” an epithet of Shiva noted for the crescent he wears. The compound has long served as a male devotional given name in Bengal and Assam, with usage traceable to medieval Bhakti and Śaiva traditions. In Bengali settings it appears either fused as Chandranath or spaced as Chandra Nath; affectionate short forms include Chandra, Chandu/Chandru, and Nath.
Roy is a Bengali surname and former honorific, cognate with Rai and Ray, deriving from Sanskrit rajan “king” via Prakrit rāya and Persian-influenced court titles; it is common across West Bengal, Bangladesh, and adjoining regions. Thus Chandra Nath Roy reads as a devotional given name paired with a regional family name. Variants include Chandranath Roy, Chandra N. Roy, Chandranath Ray/Rai, and the single-word Chandranath, evoking lunar calm, brilliance, and guardianship.
