In all the world, Chanal (Chanal 
) is a rare gender-neutral forename. The first name Chanal is characteristic of Algeria, where it is a rare gender-neutral name, South Africa, where it is a very rare girly name, and the United States, where it is an extremely rare mostly feminine, but seldom masculine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Algeria, India, and South Africa. More frequently, Chanal is the last name as well as the forename.
