Shontrel is in Origin.

Shontrel is a modern American given name emerging within African-American naming traditions. It likely blends Shon (a spelling of Sean, from Hebrew Yohanan, “God is gracious”) with the -trel/-trell ending familiar from surnames like Cantrell or given names such as Chantrell, which trace to Old French chanter, “to sing.” As a contemporary coinage, it has no single established meaning, yet many read it as carrying the grace of Sean alongside a lyrical, French-tinged flourish.

Use appears from the late 20th century in the United States, with sporadic, low-frequency records and unisex application - sometimes leaning masculine. Pronunciations include shon-TRELL or shawn-TRELL. Variants and related forms include Shontrell, Shontrelle, Shantrell, Shantrel, Chantrell, and Chantrelle; stylistic cousins include Dontrell and Montrell. Common short forms are Trell, Shon, and Trey. The name’s modernity gives it flexible cultural resonance without fixed traditional associations.
