About the name Hemchandra
Acharya Hemachandra wrote grammars, lexicons and epics, advised the Chaulukya kings and described the number sequence Europe later named after Fibonacci, so the name carries an intimidating amount of intellect. Modern parents rarely use the full form, trimming it to Hem or Hemant, but in Gujarat the long version still signals a family that reads.
Hemchandra is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced hem-CHUN-drah. On the NameRarity scale it scores 95 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 classical era.
