Etymology

The word 'chandler' originates from the Old French term 'chandelier', which meant a candlestick or holder for candles. This, in turn, derives from the Latin word 'candela', meaning 'candle'. Historically, chandlers were trade professionals who played a crucial role in communities before the advent of electric lighting. Their trade involved sourcing materials like tallow or beeswax to produce various types of candles used in homes, churches, and public places. The term evolved over time, overlapping with the sale of other goods, such as soap and household items. In modern times, while the profession may not be as common due to the decline in candle usage, chandlers have found a resurgence in the crafting of artisanal candles, appealing to consumers seeking quality and unique designs.
