History & Origin

Chantale shadowed a French favorite. As Chantal spread in the English-speaking world through the nineteen-eighties, this fuller spelling caught a small share and reached its slim high around 1988.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most, and it eased off by the late nineteen-nineties. A girl named Chantale at that peak would be nearing forty today. The added e reads as a French-flavored touch on Chantal.

Did you know? Chantal honors Saint Jeanne-Francoise de Chantal, a seventeenth-century French founder of a religious order; the name itself comes from her family's estate, whose name traces to a word for a stony place.
