Shawnta appears to be a modern variant of Shanta or possibly a feminine form derived from the name Shawn. If derived from Shanta, it has Sanskrit origins meaning 'peaceful' or 'tranquil.' Alternatively, as a feminine form of Shawn, it would have Irish and Hebrew roots (from Sean/John, meaning 'God is gracious'). The name emerged in American naming records primarily in the 1970s and peaked in popularity during the 1980s-1990s. Shawnta represents a pattern of creating feminine names by adding vowel endings to traditionally masculine names, or alternatively, creating distinctive spelling variants of existing names. Usage data shows declining frequency since the early 2000s, following patterns of many names that peaked in the late 20th century.
