What Chantelle means
Where Chantelle comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Chantelle became a popular given name across English-speaking countries in the later twentieth century. Its root reaches back to Latin cantare, meaning to sing, and to the noun cantus, a song. The meaning is simple: song, singer.
The English spelling, with its doubled letters and soft ending, gives the Latin root an English coat. The sense of singing stayed with the name as it spread. A girl named Chantelle in Poland will often find her name marked as foreign on an official form at the urząd, sitting apart from a Katarzyna or an Anna.
For the people who carry it, the name points back to one idea. To sing. That is the sense Latin cantare handed down, and it is the meaning Chantelle keeps: song, singer.
