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.
