Chandler, and its variant spellings, is a family name that originated as an occupational surname in medieval England.

The earliest records as a surname are of Matthew le Candeler in London in 1274 and William le Chandeler in Essex in 1275.[1] In the 1881 census of England, the surname Chandler was apparently used by over 0.3% of the population.[2]
