About the name Chandru
Chandru is what Karnataka does to Chandra, softening the formal Sanskrit moon-name into something you would shout across a cricket ground. The final u vowel is a giveaway of Kannada and Tamil naming habits, where it turns dignitaries into friends.
Chandru is a boy name of Kannada origin, pronounced CHUN-droo. On the NameRarity scale it scores 92 out of 100, which places it in the ultra rare band — fewer than 1 in 10,000 people carry this name. You will almost never meet another. Its strongest period was the 1980s.
