Chantall
Chantall Origin and Meaning
Chantall is a feminine name representing a spelling variation of Chantal, which has French origins. The name derives from a place name meaning "stony place" or "stony field" from the Old Provençal word "cantal." This variant spelling with the double 'l' ending gives the name a slightly distinctive appearance while maintaining its French essence. Chantal gained international recognition after Saint Jeanne-Françoise de Chantal, a 17th-century French saint. The name became popular in the English-speaking world during the mid-20th century but has since declined in usage, with the Chantall variation being notably less common. The name carries an elegant, sophisticated quality with its French roots while still feeling accessible. Its melodic sound contributes to its continuing appeal for parents seeking something feminine with European flair.
