Chaucor is in Origin.

Chaucor is a modern South Asian given name derived from Sanskrit Cakora, the mythic moon‑struck partridge (the chukar). Through Hindi and Urdu Chakor, it entered poetry and folklore; the Chaucor spelling reflects Anglicized transliteration and is sometimes confused with Hindi chaukor “square-shaped,” though the name points to the bird, not the geometric term. Meaning centers on the chakor’s legendary fixation on moonlight, believed to subsist on its beams.

In classical Sanskrit and later Hindi–Urdu verse, the cakora/chakor symbolizes ardent longing, faithful love, and purity of gaze; lovers are likened to the bird drinking the moon. As a given name it occurs across North India, Nepal, and the diaspora, usually masculine but usable as unisex. Variants include Cakora (Sanskrit), Chakor (Hindi–Urdu), and the feminine Chakori. Related spellings: Chakora, Chacora. Overall, Chaucor conveys poetic devotion and luminous yearning.
