What is the meaning of the name Krisnanda ?

The baby name Krisnanda is a Unisex name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced kris-NAN-dah (IPA: /krɪsˈnændə/).

Krisnanda is Indonesian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Krisnanda blends the Sanskrit theonym Krishna with ānanda, “bliss, joy,” yielding the sense “bliss of Krishna,” “one gladdened by Krishna,” or “Krishna’s joy.” The second element comes from the root nand-, “to rejoice,” widely used as the -nanda suffix in Indic names signifying spiritual delight. In Indonesian and Javanese orthography the h in Krishna is often dropped to Krisna, which shapes this compact form.

As a theophoric name it appears in South Asian bhakti traditions and later in Hindu-influenced Java and Bali, where the epic character Kresna is culturally central. Monastic and scholarly bearers in India commonly use the fuller Krishnananda/Krishnānanda; modern Indonesian spellings include Krisnanda, Krisnananda, and Kresnanda, with English/roman variants Krishnaananda or Krishnanand. Usage today is chiefly masculine but can be unisex. The name evokes devotion, serenity, and the pursuit of inner happiness anchored in the figure of Krishna.
