Chandrakishor is Sanskrit in Origin.
Chandrakishor is a Sanskrit-derived Indian male name, composed of candra “moon” and kiśora “adolescent, youth.” It conveys “moon-like youth,” “youthful as the moon,” or poetically “the young moon”; in Vaishnava usage it can also evoke Krishna in his kishora (adolescent) form shining like the moon.
The compound appears across North India, Bengal, and Nepal, often in literate and devotional circles from the medieval period onward, with notable circulation in the 19th–20th centuries. Forms and spellings vary by language: Chandrakishore (final -e), Chandra Kishor, and Chandra Kishore; the inverted Kishore Chandra also occurs. Regional orthography favors Kishor in Hindi/Marathi/Nepali and Kishore in Bengali/Telugu. Related feminine forms include Kishori and the rarer Chandrakishori. Common nicknames and short forms are Chandu, Kishor/Kishore, and the initials C.K.
