==Origin of name of chandannagar==
The name Chandannagar is possibly derived from the shape of the bank of the river Ganges which is bent like a half moon (in Bengali, ''Chand'' means moon and ''Nagar'' implies city). In some old documents the spelling of Chandannagar was Chandernagore which probably came from Chandra Nagar. To mention, ''Chandra'' is the Bengali of Moon. Others believe it might have been taken from the flourishing trade and business of sandal wood (Bengali:''Chandan'') at that time.
One more reason behind the name is, in Chandernagore there is a temple of Goddess 'Chandi'. So it might come from there. But earlier people knew the place by the name ''Farasdanga'' as it was a French colony (Bengali: ''Farasi'' means French, ''danga'' means land).
