Chandlor is in Origin.
Chandlor is a modern respelling of Chandler, an English occupational surname meaning “candle maker” or candle-seller. The term came into Middle English from Anglo-Norman chandeler/chandelier, ultimately from Latin candela, linked to the Indo‑European root meaning “to shine.” In medieval life a chandler supplied candles, soap, and provisions; the nautical “ship’s chandler” echoes this trade, giving the name warm, luminous, and utilitarian overtones.
Found as a surname from the 12th century, it transitioned to given-name use in the 19th–20th centuries and rose in late‑1990s America via the sitcom character Chandler Bing. Chandlor is a rare, unisex form chosen for distinctive spelling. Variants and related forms include Chandler (standard), Chandlar, Chandeler, and Candler; names sharing the cand- root include Candela and Candice. Common nicknames: Chan, Chand, Chandy.
