Shantail is a unique and beautiful given name of unknown origin, although some sources suggest it may be of American Native American descent. The name's meaning and history are not well-documented, adding to its mysterious allure. It consists of two distinct elements: 'Shanta', which means 'peace' in Sanskrit, and 'ail', believed to derive from the Irish surname Ó Ailealla, meaning 'descendant of Aliell'. Thus, Shantail could be interpreted as a harmonious combination of peacefulness and strength or nobility. This name is not attached to any historical figures or famous individuals, allowing it to stand independently and uniquely.
Shantail is a rare name with only ten known instances of it being given to newborns over two years - specifically five babies named Shantail in 1985 and another five in 1988.
