A French diminutive of Chantal, Chantelle ultimately traces back to the Occitan word *cantala*, meaning "stone" or "pebble," and gained popularity as a given name in the English-speaking world during the 1960s and 1970s. The name is famously shared by French perfumer Chantelle, though the most notable bearer may be American model, actress, and television personality Chantelle Houghton, who rose to fame on *Celebrity Big Brother UK* in 2006. While no specific place bears the name, it shares its etymological root with the French commune of Chantal, which inspired the original name. Chantelle is also the name of a well-known lingerie brand, adding a touch of European glamour to its earthy origins.
