Chandlan is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Chandlan is a rare modern given name most plausibly arising as a phonetic variant of the English occupational surname Chandler, ultimately from Old French chandelier and Latin candela, “candle.” In that lineage it conveys the sense “candle maker” or “seller of candles,” often interpreted more broadly as “light bearer.” Some parents also treat Chandlan as a contemporary blend of the elements Chan- (as in Chandler/Channing) and -lan (as in Lachlan/Landon), giving it a tailored, invented feel.

Documented use as a first name surfaces in late 20th- and early 21st‑century North America, where it remains very uncommon and largely unisex, fitting the surname-as-given-name trend. Variants and near-forms include Chandlen, Chandlyn, Chandlin, Chandlor, and Chandler; related choices are Channing and Lachlan. It is sometimes mistaken for South Asian names like Chandan (“sandalwood”) or Chandran (“moon”), though those have separate roots.
