Shantrelle is in Origin.

Shantrelle is a modern American given name formed by adding the Shan-/Sha- prefix to French feminine lines such as Chantrelle and Chantelle. These, in turn, relate to Chantal, a surname-turned-given-name made famous by Saint Jeanne de Chantal; its probable sense is “stony place” from a French place-name. By phonetic association with chant and chanter (“song, to sing”), Shantrelle also carries a lyrical, musical feel in English and French ears, a nuance often embraced in modern usage.

Used primarily in the United States since the late 20th century, the name reflects African-American naming creativity of the 1970s–1990s, when Sha-/Shan- blends flourished. It has remained uncommon but recognizable. Variants and relatives include Shantrell, Shantrel, Shontrelle, Shantelle, Shantel, Chantrelle, Chantrell, and Chantelle, with nicknames like Shan and Trell. The overall impression is elegant and mellifluous, balancing heritage French roots with contemporary flair.
