Raseshchandra is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Raseshchandra is an Indian masculine compound from Sanskrit elements: rasa (“sap, essence, aesthetic sentiment”) + īśa/ēś (“lord, ruler”) and candra (“moon; shining, pleasing”). It thus conveys “moon-like lord of aesthetic essence,” suggesting a person whose radiance governs feeling and refinement, a poetic image tied to the moon’s association with coolness, beauty, and the soma elixir in classical literature.

As a double name, it reflects a Sanskritic style common in North and Western India, especially Gujarat, from the late 19th to mid-20th centuries among educated Hindu and Jain families; -chandra compounds were prized for their refined, literary tone. Today the fuller form is rare and formal, while the simplex Rasesh remains in use. Variants and spellings include Rasesh Chandra, Rasesh-Chandra, and the clipped Rasesh Chand; related cognates are Rasesh, Chandra, and Chandrakant. Possible nicknames include Rasesh, Rasu, or Chandu in family settings.
