The Story Behind Ma Lumière: A Name That Illuminates a Purpose

Choosing the perfect name for a brand is one of the most significant decisions when launching a business. The name needs to be distinctive, meaningful, and deeply connected to the essence of the products. So, why Ma Lumière?

A Nod to French Heritage

As a Frenchman living in Manchester since August 2010, I have often been affectionately referred to as "the French guy." It’s one of the characteristics that people remember most about me. I knew from the start that my brand name would reflect my French heritage—not just to stand out, but to evoke the elegance and tradition that comes with it.

I also wanted the name to hold a deeper significance. Practically, a burning candle radiates light. Symbolically, light represents goodness, hope, and warmth—the very emotions I strive to convey through my candles. With that in mind, I chose Ma Lumière, which translates to "My Light."

A Light That Guided Me

Ma Lumière arrived in my life during a time when I was searching for direction. I didn’t know what path I wanted to take, and this venture gave me a renewed sense of purpose. I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit, and I saw this as the perfect moment to embrace self-employment. Since then, my business has been the guiding light that I’ve followed with passion and dedication.

Ma Lumière is more than just a name; it represents the light that illuminated my journey. It embodies my personal story and the values my brand holds dear: elegance, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of creating something meaningful.

The Essence of Ma Lumière

And so, Ma Lumière was born—a name that is simple yet profound, rooted in my heritage and the symbolic meaning of light. I take immense pride in my business, in what it stands for, and in the light it continues to bring into my life and into the homes of those who experience it.

This is the story behind Ma Lumière—a name that signifies more than just a product, but a journey and a beacon of inspiration.
