Shante (also spelled Shanté or Shantae) likely developed in the United States during the 1970s, when it saw its first significant usage. The name may have several possible origins. It could be a variant of the French name Chantal, which derives from a place name meaning "stony." Alternatively, it may be related to the French word "chanter" meaning "to sing," or the English word "chant." Some linguistics suggest possible connections to West African naming patterns, though specific etymological links are not well documented. Shante peaked in popularity during the 1970s and early 1980s. The name gained additional recognition through several notable bearers, including American rapper Roxanne Shanté. Today, Shante continues to be used, though less frequently than during its peak decades.
