Chandrahasu is Sanskrit in Origin.

Chandrahasu is an Indic masculine name from Sanskrit Chandra “moon” + hāsa “smile, laughter,” yielding senses such as “moon-bright smile” or “one with a smile like the moon.” A parallel folk etymology links it to the crescent “moon-blade,” reflected in Chandrahāsa, the radiant sword bestowed by Shiva in epic lore, giving the name overtones of brilliance, grace, and divine protection.

Used across South Asia and in Sanskritic literature (notably the Kathāsaritsāgara tale of Prince Chandrahāsa), the -u ending marks a Kannada and Telugu preference. Common variants are Chandrahāsa, Chandrahasa, Chandrahas, and Tamil-influenced Chandrahasan; rarer feminine analogs include Chandrahāsi/Chandrahasi. Nicknames such as Chandra and Hasu occur regionally. Script forms include Devanagari चन्द्रहास and Kannada ಚಂದ್ರಹಾಸು. Overall, Chandrahasu blends serene beauty with auspicious strength.
