Chandler, and its variant spellings, is a family name that originated as an occupational surname in medieval England. It applied to a person involved in making or selling candles and similar articles. The earliest records as a surname are attested in Anglo-Norman by Matthew le Candeler in London in 1274 and William le Chandeler in Essex in 1275.[1] It corresponds to the Norman-Picard and (northern) French surnames Candelier, Chandelier and Lechandelier "candle maker".[2] In the 1881 census of England, the surname Chandler was apparently used by over 0.3% of the population.[3]

As of 2010, Chandler ranked as the 404th most popular surname in the United States, with 79,186 citizens.[4]
