Chantarrya is in Origin.

Chantarrya is a modern American, often African-American, inventive given name combining the musical root chant (English/French, 'song; to sing') with the fashionable -aria/-rya ending. While not traditional in European onomastics, it follows late-20th-century U.S. patterns of elaborating familiar elements (Chant-, Shan-, -aria) into unique forms. Usage is sparse and regionally variable, rarely appearing in national statistics, yet recognizable through its components.

Meanings are interpretive rather than etymological: many read it as 'sung aria' or 'melodic song,' reinforced by the overlap with Aria/Ariya (Italian/Latin 'air, melody') and, by sound, Arya (Sanskrit 'noble'). Variants seen include Chantaria, Chantarria, Chanteria, Chanterria, Chantarya, Chantarriya, Shantaria, and Shantarria; cognate inspirations are Chantal/Chantelle. Possible nicknames are Chani, Tara/Tarry, and Rya. Common pronunciations include shahn-TAR-ee-uh and chan-TAR-yuh.
