Chantai Origin and Meaning

The name Chantai is a girl's name.

Chantai is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Chantal, a French name derived from a place name meaning 'stony place.' The original name gained international recognition through St. Jeanne-Françoise de Chantal, a 17th-century French saint. This alternative spelling maintains the elegant French sound while offering a slightly more distinctive written form. Chantai carries the same melodic quality and sophisticated image as Chantal but remains considerably less common. The name suggests musicality, as it relates to the French word 'chanter' meaning 'to sing.' Chantai appeals to parents seeking a name with French cultural connections and an elegant, international flair.
