Shantay

Shantay is a girl's name that echoes the resilience of ancient volcanic structures and the serene practices of Hindi traditions. Related to the French names Chantal and Shantelle, Shantay comes from the Old French word cantal, meaning "stone." In the heartlands of France, you can find Monts du Cantal, a range of biodiverse volcanic landscapes formed millions of years ago and rich with flora and fauna. Shantay has Hindi and Sanskrit roots in the name Shanti, meaning "peace." Shanti is often incorporated into Buddhist and Hindi practices to summon a sense of inner peace in the body, mind, and spirit.
