History & Origin
Shauntelle is an English-spelled cousin of Chantelle and Shantel, all springing from the French Chantal. The song association came by later folk connection, and this Shaun- form belongs to a late-century American taste for phonetic respellings.
Shauntelle appeared only lightly in the American records around 1989, reaching about fourteen girls a year before fading. A girl named Shauntelle then would be in her late thirties today, with the trimmer Chantelle more usual.
