Families often associate Shanell with creativity, hope, and joy, reminiscent of bright marigold petals scattered on a rangoli.

With its playful sound and radiant meaning, Shanell inspires every little girl who bears it to step into the world with confidence and shine her light—fast and fearless, like a peacock unfurling its feathers at sunrise.
