Krishnendu Banerjee intertwines a devotional Bengali given name with a scholarly Brahmin surname. Krishnendu comes from Sanskrit Krishna (the dark-hued deity, an epithet of Vishnu) + indu (moon), yielding the poetic sense "Krishna's moon" or "as radiant as the moon to Krishna." Used chiefly among Bengali speakers in India and Bangladesh since the late nineteenth century and popular in the twentieth, it is predominantly masculine but occasionally unisex. Variants and transliterations include Krishnendu, Krisnendu; nicknames such as Krish or Rishu are common.

Banerjee is the anglicized form of Bandyopadhyay (also spelled Bandopadhyay), a Bengali Brahmin surname built from Sanskrit vandya "venerable, worthy of praise" + upadhyaya "teacher/priest," essentially "revered teacher." Historical bearers belonged to learned priestly lineages in Bengal, with the form Banerji also attested under British rule. Today the name is widespread across West Bengal, Bangladesh, and the diaspora, pairing smoothly with devotional given names like Krishnendu.
