Shantelle is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Shantelle has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Shantelle. That means that a girl named Shantelle is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Shantelle.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Shantelle. Girls named Shantelle have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 1,102 Shantelle ranked higher than ever before in 1987. By comparison, there have been 88 years in which the first name Shantelle has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Shantelle only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Shantelle was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The odds of living in the same state as someone with the first name Shantelle are about the same as betting on heads or tails in a coin toss. This girl’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet girls and women with the name Shantelle in 20 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii or Illinois. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Shantelle live in Louisiana – here, one in 16,184 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 179,270 will turn around if you call her first name Shantelle.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter S is a very popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 9.3% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letter A is more common for girls' names.
With nine letters, the name Shantelle is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 9.3% of all girls' names start with an S, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And by the way: Of all the girls' names that start with an S, Susan is the most common.
If your name is Shantelle and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
