Additional info:

"Shanti" is a Sansrkit word meaning "peace," and is the vocal ending to an Upanishad.
Shanti is the 584th name of Lord Vishnu's 1000 names, as listed in the Vishnu Sahasranama. Shanti is also a peace-Goddess personified as the daughter of Shraddha (Faith).
Shanti and its variants have gained some usage in the Western world as names, perhaps due to their use in T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land."
