Funny that the remaining businesses called chandlers these days are boat/marine related. And I doubt they sell many candles.

A chandler and a ship chandler are different businesses.

But ship chandler is usually just shortened to chandler nowadays.

Presumably with a common origin. It would be a bit weird if marine chandlers just happened by chance to have the same name as candle mongers.
