Chandriah is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Chandriah is a modern given name shaped by Sanskrit and biblical influences. The first element echoes Chandra, the Sanskrit word and deity name meaning “moon” and by extension “luminous” or “moonlight.” Its ending mirrors the Hebrew theophoric suffix -iah (-yah), familiar from Isaiah and Josiah, which invokes the divine name Yah(weh). As a blended creation, Chandriah is commonly interpreted as “moon of Yah” or “moonlight with divine favor,” though many bearers treat it simply as an ornate elaboration of Chandra.

Documented in U.S. records from the late 20th century onward, Chandriah remains rare and is used chiefly for girls. Variant forms include Chandria, Chandriyah, Chandrea, and the base name Chandra; diminutives such as Chan, Chani, and Ria occur in informal use. Not to be confused with the masculine South Indian name Chandraiah, which follows different linguistic patterns.
