How to Pronounce Chauntelle
Pronounced shahn-TELL /ʃɑːnˈtɛl/Low
Meaning: Chauntelle is a decorated spelling of Chantelle, a French-flavored name that grew from Chantal. Chantal began as a surname and place name in southern France and was only later associated by sound with chant, 'song.' The added letters here are stylistic, and the name carries Chantelle's soft French feel rather than a distinct meaning.Low

History & Origin
Chauntelle is one of several dressed-up spellings of Chantelle, which itself springs from the French Chantal. The chant, 'song,' association came by later folk connection rather than true root, and this elaborated form reflects late-century American taste for extra vowels.
Chauntelle briefly dotted the American records around 1990, reaching only about fourteen girls a year and then fading. A girl named Chauntelle then would be in her mid-thirties today, and the trimmer Chantelle stayed the more usual choice.
