Where did name Yankee come from?
No one is really sure where the word Yankee came from. Some say a British general named James Wolfe used it first in 1758 when he was commanding some New England soldiers. Others say the word comes from the Cherokee word eankke, which means coward.
Why do Yankee Candles last so long?
Since they are built to last for a long time and always have a high performing wick, the Yankee Candle is an excellent choice for many people. Yankee Candles burn down evenly, and they take a very long time to use up. The Yankee Candles are made of natural material, and therefore they burn at a slower rate as well.
