Thinking about the name
Candler
English origin
“An occupational surname repurposed as a first name, Candler originally referred to one who made or sold candles—a skilled trade in medieval times. When used as a modern given name, it carries an industrial-craft sensibility with a distinctly Southern American charm, evoking both heritage and individualism.”
