Shauntae is a unique and distinctive given name of American origin. It was created by combining the prefix "Shaun," which means "help, aid," and "tae," a variant of the Korean suffix "-tae" meaning "great." Thus, Shauntae can be interpreted as "helping greatly" or "aiding greatly." This name gained popularity in the United States during the late 20th century, likely due to its unique sound and its association with notable individuals who have borne this name. However, it remains relatively uncommon compared to more traditional names. Shauntae is typically used for girls but can also be given to boys, as gender neutrality has become more prevalent in naming practices in recent years.
The name Shauntae saw its peak popularity between 1977 and 1983, with a high of 44 births in 1983. However, it seems to have declined steadily since then, with only single-digit numbers of births per year from 1990 onwards. The total number of births over this period is 689.
