Chand derives from Sanskrit chandra “moon,” a classic honorific in names. Together, the sense is “moonlike Nimai” or “the moon born under the neem,” evoking purity, protection, calmness, and beauty.

The name has long currency in Bengal, Odisha, and Assam, where Gaudiya Vaishnava devotion helped popularize Nimai as a given name and - chand/ - chandra as a poetic second element.
