How Do You Spell MCCANDLESS?
Pronunciation: [məkˈandləs] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "McCandless" can be a bit tricky, especially for those unfamiliar with the phonetics of the English language. In terms of IPA transcription, the word would look something like /məˈkændlɪs/ or "muh-KAN-dliss". The "Mc" at the beginning represents a common Scottish and Irish prefix that means "son of". The "Candless" part of the name is less common, but likely a variation of "Candles", meaning someone who makes candles. So, "McCandless" roughly translates to "son of the candle-maker".
