History & Origin

Shantina is a coined American girls' name that blends a Shan- opening with the -tina of Christina or Tina. It belongs to the inventive Shan- naming wave, alongside Shanika and Shantel, valuing a melodic three-beat sound over a single root.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year from around 1970 into the two-thousands. A girl named Shantina at its high point would be in her forties now.

Did you know? The -tina in Shantina echoes Christina and Tina, tying it faintly to the Greek Christos, 'anointed.'
