Shantal

Meaning of Shantal

Shantal, pronounced shan-TAL (/ʃænˈtæl/), is a warm, spirited twist on the French classic Chantal. Its roots trace back to a medieval place name meaning “stony place,” yet over time the name has come to evoke the steadfast grace of Saint Jeanne de Chantal, a beacon of devotion and guidance. Today, Shantal carries a quietly confident, underdog charm—hovering around the mid-900s in U.S. popularity charts—so it feels both familiar and delightfully unexpected. Think of it as a name that sparkles with European flair and sinks its roots into Anglo-American warmth, inviting your little girl to carve her own path with gentle strength and a story all her own.
