Jagadishchandra is Sanskrit in Origin.

Jagadishchandra is a masculine Indian given name formed from Sanskrit elements: Jagadīśa (from jagat, “world,” + īśa, “lord,” a theonym for Vishnu or Shiva) and Chandra/Candra, “moon.” Together they suggest “moon-like Lord of the world” or “the radiant lord of the universe,” with chandra functioning as an honorific that conveys beauty, brilliance, and calm. Variants include Jagadish Chandra (spaced), Jagadishchandra, Jagadīśacandra (IAST), Jagadisha Chandra, and the Hindi-leaning Jagdish Chandra/Jagdishchandra.

The name flourished in eastern India - especially Bengal, Assam, and Odisha - where two-part Sanskritic names with -chandra as a suffix were fashionable in the 19th–20th centuries. Its profile was elevated by the pioneering scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose (1858–1937), and it remains familiar in scholarly and devotional circles. Usage today is rarer but carries a classical, theophoric aura. Related forms are the standalone Jagadish/Jagdish and compound names such as Ramachandra or Subhash Chandra, which share the moon-suffix tradition.
