Chantah is in Origin.

Chantah is a modern English given name, likely a creative spelling blending the French name cluster Chantal/Chantel/Chantelle and Chanté/Chante. Chantal began as a Burgundian surname from a toponym meaning “stony place” (from Old Provençal cantal “rock”), popularized by St. Jane Frances de Chantal in the 17th century and later by 20th-century use in France and the Anglosphere. Chanté is the French past participle of chanter, “to sing,” adopted in English-speaking communities, especially in the late 20th century; Chantah emerged alongside other -ah endings then.

Variant forms include Chanta, Chantae, Chantay, Chante, Chanté, Chantal, Chantel, and Chantelle; nicknames can be Chan, Chani, or Taa. Meanings ascribed to Chantah usually follow its sources: either “stony place” via Chantal or musical overtones from Chanté (“sung”). The name is sometimes associated by sound with Lakota Čhaŋté “heart” (often written Chante), though Chantah itself is not a traditional Lakota form.
