| | "Chandi" (ચંડી) = GODDESS, "Chaandi" (ચાંદી) = SILVER | Explanation:
There're two different words nearby to your saying and you would realize that just by missing / adding a single "a" letter in the middle of the word, the entire meaning gets differed.
"Chandi" (ચંડી) as a female name is referred to a Hindu Goddess, like "Chandi Chamunda" is GODDESS CHAMUNDA.
"Chaandi" (ચાંદી) means SILVER metal.
Here, pl. note that English Letter "D" is used to refer two different Gujarati Letters called "ડ" (Thirteenth Consonent of Gujarati alphabet) and "દ" (Eighteenth Consonent of Gujarati alphabet).
Pl. feel free to ask for any clarifications.

The difference between two different Gujarati Letters called "ડ" and "દ" would be realized if you happen to know pronounciation difference of alphabets "D" in cities names, DETROIT and DELHI.
