- In modern Japanese, チャンドラー is rarely used for candle makers and is more frequently recognized as the surname of characters like Chandler Bing from 'Friends'.
- While チャンドラー is a loanword for 'chandler', the traditional Japanese word for a candle maker is 蝋燭屋 (rōsokuya), which literally means 'candle shop'.
- The word チャンドラー is written in katakana, the script used for foreign words, because the concept of a professional 'chandler' as a distinct trade is an import from the West.
