Deriving from the Latin language word "candere" meaning "to be bright", the proud and noble English surname of Chandler was often bestowed upon those who made and sold candles. It may also have been bestowed upon those persons responsible for caring for and lighting the candles in a large house, or owed their rent in the form of wax or candles. Some researchers say that long before the Norman Invasion of 1066 A.D., this family held a family seat at Lancashire.
