      The name Shantalle is derived from the French name Chantal, which is rooted in the Old Provençal word cantal meaning stone. This etymological connection imbues the name with a sense of strength and durability, qualities often associated with stone. The name has a melodic quality, characteristic of many French names, and its various spellings and adaptations reflect its widespread use, particularly in regions with French influence.

      Historically, the name Chantal gained prominence in France due to Saint Jeanne-Françoise de Chantal, a 16th-century nun who co-founded the Visitation Order. Her influence popularized the name among Christian communities and led to its various adaptations, including Shantalle. Over time, the name has appeared in various historical documents and records, solidifying its place within both cultural and religious contexts. The name has also been associated with qualities of devotion and resilience, further enriching its historical significance.

Its usage has broadened to include various interpretations, often linked to diverse cultural backgrounds.
