History & Origin

Shantasia is a coined name that pairs the Shan- prefix with a -tasia ending drawn from fantasia. It appears in United States records from the mid 1980s, part of a wave of elaborate Shan- girls' names.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its early-nineties high. A girl named Shantasia then is in her thirties now, from a generation fond of ornate coined names.

Did you know? Its ending nods to fantasia and to Anastasia, giving a coined name an airy, ornamental lift.
