Chinmayananda is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Chinmayananda is a masculine Sanskrit compound from cinmaya (चिन्मय, "composed of pure consciousness") and ānanda (आनन्द, "bliss, supreme joy"). The root cit ("consciousness, awareness") underlies cin-, while -maya denotes "consisting of" or "imbued with," yielding the devotional sense "bliss of pure consciousness" or "one who delights in absolute awareness." The name carries strong Advaita Vedānta overtones of the self as sat-cit-ānanda.

As a given name and monastic epithet in Hindu traditions, it appears across India and the diaspora, especially among sannyasins whose spiritual names end in -ānanda. Its profile was heightened by Swami Chinmayananda (1916–1993), founder of the Chinmaya Mission. Regional and colloquial variants include Chinmayanand (North Indian shortening); related forms are Chinmaya and Chinmay, which preserve the "consisting of consciousness" element without the -ānanda suffix. Though predominantly masculine, it can be adapted in unisex contexts.
