French origin
“The most common English spelling of the French Chantal, derived from 'chant' meaning 'song' in Old French. Chantelle gained significant popularity in the 1990s and 2000s, particularly in English-speaking countries, and conveys both sophistication and contemporary style. The double-L ending gives it a distinctly modern, appealing flow.”
