Girl name · 12 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Chantell: 12 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1995.

Chantell is a modern spelling variant of Chantal, a name rooted in the French surname of Saint Jeanne-Françoise Frémiot de Chantal, a 17th-century co-founder of the Order of the Visitation. The surname itself comes from the Occitan word *cantal*, meaning "stone" or "stony place," originally referring to the family’s estate in the Auvergne region of France. Though less common than the Chantal or Chantelle forms, Chantell saw a burst of popularity in English-speaking countries during the 1970s and 1980s,
