Antwonne
Antwonne Origin and Meaning
Antwonne is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Antoine/Antwan, which themselves derive from the Latin name Antonius (Anthony). The Roman family name Antonius has uncertain earlier origins but gained prominence through historical figures like Mark Antony and later Saint Anthony. This particular spelling variation with the doubled "n" and final "e" represents a phonetic adaptation that emerged in American naming patterns, likely in the latter half of the 20th century. The alternate spelling creates a distinctive visual identity while maintaining the traditional pronunciation. Documentary evidence shows Antwonne as a relatively uncommon variation, appearing in records primarily from the 1970s onward. The name typically follows the pronunciation pattern of Antoine, with emphasis on the second syllable.
