Chinmayanand is Sanskrit in Origin.

Chinmayanand is an Indian masculine name from Sanskrit Chinmayananda: chinmaya (from cit, “consciousness,” + maya, “consisting of”) + ananda, “bliss/beatitude.” The composite conveys “bliss of pure consciousness,” “one who is filled with the joy of knowledge,” and carries a strong Vedantic/Advaita resonance.

Used across Hindi and other Indo-Aryan languages, it appears both as a monastic epithet and as a lay given name. The longer form Chinmayananda is common; the clipped Chinmayanand reflects Hindi phonology, while scholarly transliteration shows Chinmayananda with a long ā. The name gained wider visibility through Swami Chinmayananda (1916–1993), founder of the Chinmaya Mission; a distinct figure, Swami Chinmayanand (b. 1947), also bears it. Related variants include Chinmaya (often unisex), Chinmay/Chinmoy (short forms with the “consciousness” element), and Anand/Anandi as cognates from the “bliss” element. Nicknames may be Chinmay or Anand.
