Chandrasekaran Family History

Chandrasekaran Surname Meaning

Indian (southern states): from a personal name derived from Sanskrit Chandrashekhara an epithet of Shiva meaning ‘one whose hair is adorned by the moon’ + the Tamil-Malayalam third-person masculine singular suffix -n.

— Note: Since South Indians traditionally do not have hereditary surnames this name was in most cases registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US.
