Hmm, everybody seems to be telling us what their name means, so I thought I'd elaborate on mine.
If I had a dime for every time somebody asked me if my mother got my name from the show Friends, I'd probably be a millionaire. Chandler is a rather rare name, and it is not frequently used.
From research, here are the details on the name "Chandler":
CHANDLER
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English
Pronunciation: CHAND-lur
From an occupational surname which meant "candle seller" in Middle English, ultimately from Old French.
