GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): Discoverer: Indian research vessel MGS "Sagar". Year of discovery: 2020. History: The name "Chandragupt" has its origins in Sanskrit. It is composed of two elements ‘Chandra’ which means ‘Moon’ and ‘Gupt’ which means ‘protected’ or ‘secret’. When combined, "Chandragupt" means "protected by the moon". The moon holds cultural significance in various societies and traditions worldwide. The name "Chandragupt" honors this cultural heritage and fosters a deeper appreciation for the universal symbolism of the moon as a source of inspiration, reflection, and artistic expression. It's a common name in Indian history, particularly notable in the context of Maurya and Gupta empires. |
