Chandler
Meaning of Chandler
Chandler drifts in on a soft, candle-lit breeze, its story beginning in medieval England where a “chandeler” crafted the very candles that pushed back night’s shadows. That practical past has blossomed into a modern, unisex favorite—equally at home in a ruffled baby blanket or a varsity jacket. Pop culture sprinkled on extra charm through the quick-witted Chandler Bing of Friends, helping the name rocket into America’s Top 200 around the year 2000 before settling into a warm, steady glow in the 500s today. Pronounced simply CHAN-dler, it rolls off the tongue with friendly confidence, offering parents a blend of heritage, humor, and a flicker of individuality that still feels fresh. Whether you picture a future playwright, a tech whiz, or a wilderness explorer, Chandler carries its own little lantern, ready to light the way.
