Combination name, likely meaning singer and victory
Shantoria is a modern American invention, likely created by blending the French-derived 'Shante' (from chanter, meaning to sing) with the Latin 'Victoria' (meaning victory). This style of name construction became popular in African American communities in the late 20th century, focusing on melodic phonetics and positive meanings.
