The sanskrit name Ardha Chandrasana is translated to mean Half Moon Pose. Ardha means half and Chandra means moon. Asana simply refers to the fact that it is a posture.
'(are-dah chan-DRAHS-anna)
ardha = half
candra = glittering, shining, having the brilliancy or hue of light (said of the gods); usually translated as "moon" '
