Meaning and history
Chanté is a modern feminine name influenced by French chanter, meaning “to sing,” and by names such as Chantal. Although often interpreted as “sung” or “song,” it is a modern formation rather than a traditional French given name in that exact form. American singer Chanté Moore is its best-known bearer.
Chanté rose from #972 to #675 for girls between 1977 and 1993. That year also produced its highest recorded birth count, at 323.
