Chantell is French in Origin.
Chantell is a modern English and Afrikaans spelling of Chantal/Chantelle, a French given name that began as a surname borne by St. Jeanne-Françoise de Chantal (1572–1641). The toponymic surname comes from a locality in Burgundy; most scholars trace it to Old Occitan cantal "stone, stony place," of Gaulish origin. Though often linked by folk etymology to French chanter "to sing," the older sense is "stone" or "from the rocky place."
As a given name, Chantal rose in France and Quebec in the 20th century under the saint’s influence, then spread to English-speaking countries from the 1960s to the 1990s. Chantell appears chiefly in South Africa and the United States. Variants include Chantal, Chantalle, Chantelle, Chantel, Shantel, and Shantelle; diminutives such as Chan and Telle also occur. The name blends elegant, musical associations with sturdy, place-name roots.
