Candle
Derived from the French word for candle, this name evokes imagery of light and warmth. It is often associated with the 'chandelle' maneuver in aviation, where a pilot performs a steep climbing turn. In a naming context, it serves as a rare, rhythmic alternative to names like Danielle or Chanel.
Fewer than 5 girls were named Chandelle in 2025.
