Comments for the name Candela

Candela is a beautiful name. This may sound dumb, but it makes me think of candles glowing softly in the dark. I love the way it rolls off the tongue.

This is very popular for girls of all ages in South America.

Candela is an SI base unit in chemistry used to measure luminous intensity. I think that this usage gives it a sort of new meaning altogether that I really like. Luminous intensity seems like a worthy meaning for a name.

I like this name! Also Candy, Dela, and Del will make great nicknames!
