Chantal

Chantal is a French feminine given name, derived from a place name meaning "stony" or "rocky ground." It gained popularity through Saint Jeanne de Chantal, a 17th-century French saint.

The name spread beyond French-speaking regions in the mid-20th century, becoming fashionable in North America and parts of Europe.

Chantal called to say she'd be late.

Various spellings exist, including Chantel and Shantal.
