A resident or native of Candia (the historical Venetian name for the island of Crete).
From Candia (the medieval Italian name for Crete, from Greek Chandax) plus the suffix -ot indicating a person from a place. This term is mostly historical, reflecting Venetian rule over Crete.
Candia was Crete's name for over 400 years when the Venetians controlled it, and the blend of Venetian and Greek cultures created a totally unique 'Candiot' art style that's still studied today!
