What Does the Name Chandon Mean?
Chandon is a French place name and family name, and its literal meaning is not established. The village of Chandon lies in the Loire department of central France, and the surname Chandon is recorded in France, with the best-known branch associated with Burgundy and, later, Champagne. French place names of this shape often continue a Gallo-Roman personal name combined with the suffix -onem, which became -on, but no documented earlier form of Chandon is available, so the element that would carry the meaning cannot be identified.
Chandon Name History & Origins
The surname Chandon is French and is known internationally through the Champagne house Moët & Chandon of Épernay. The firm took that name in 1832, when Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles, a son-in-law of Jean-Rémy Moët, became a partner. The Chandon de Briailles family is a Burgundian family, and the name is also attached to wine estates at Savigny-lès-Beaune. Whether the surname originally comes from the village of Chandon in the Loire is not documented.
Chandon is also the name the same company uses for sparkling wines made outside France, including in California, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, and India. That wine label made the word familiar to English speakers, and Chandon now appears occasionally as a given name, chiefly in the United States; such use is rare, and no clear record shows how or when it began. The Irish place name Shandon, as in the Shandon district of Cork, is unrelated: it comes from Irish sean, "old," and dún, "fort."
