Shantelle

Meaning of Shantelle

Shantelle is a name that dances off the tongue with a playful shimmy. It springs from the French Chantelle—tied to chant, or song—and from a Provencal place of sunlit stones. Parents love how it feels like a dusk-time fiesta full of color and corazón. Like a sturdy granite cliff that still hums with echoes, Shantelle blends strength and melody. In the U.S., it stays sweetly rare, hovering around the 900s on baby-name charts, so each little Shantelle shines as a hidden gem. It’s perfect for a bright soul who sings her own song and stands tall with a mischievous grin.
