Shandelier is a contemporary English given name, a creative respelling and phonetic play on chandelier, from French chandelle "candle," ultimately from Latin candela, from candere "to shine." The imagery suggests brightness, luxury, and celebration, yielding meanings such as "light-bearer" or "one who shines." Its sound also echoes modern names like Shanelle, Chantelle, and Chandelle, which may have encouraged the Shan- element combined with a -dier/-dell sound.

Usage is very rare and recent, surfacing sporadically in late 20th- and early 21st-century records in English-speaking countries. Parents tend to favor it for its luminous symbolism rather than any fixed tradition. Common pronunciations include shan-dee-LEER and SHAN-dee-leer.

While most often given to girls, the name’s invented nature allows unisex use.
