It may be inspired by the Ashanti (also spelled Asante) people, a major ethnic group of Ghana known for their rich cultural traditions and historical kingdom. Alternatively, it could be a variant spelling of the name Ashanti, which gained popularity in the US after American singer Ashanti Douglas rose to fame in the early 2000s. The name first appeared in US naming records in the 1970s and saw increased usage through the 1990s-2000s. As a feminine name, Ashante represents the practice of adapting cultural or place names into personal names, a pattern seen across many naming traditions.
