Chandia is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Chandia is a rare given name rooted in South Asia. It most plausibly descends from Sanskrit candra “moon; shining,” via Hindi/Urdu chand and an elaborative -ia/-iya ending, yielding the sense “moonlike” or “luminous.” The name also echoes Chandi (from Sanskrit Candī), an epithet of the goddess Durga meaning “fierce, resplendent,” so Chandia can blend serene radiance with protective strength.

Usage appears sporadically as a feminine personal name in India, and it also surfaces as a surname and in place-names (for example, in Madhya Pradesh). Variants and related forms include Chandi, Chandra (unisex), Chandni/Chandani, and Chandika; spellings Chandiya/Chandiya and nicknames such as Chanda or Chandu also occur. Overall, Chandia offers a distinctive yet culturally grounded choice with auspicious, moonlit overtones.
