Dontae appears to be a variant spelling of Dante or Donte. The name Dante has Italian origins, derived from the medieval shortened form of the name Durante, meaning 'enduring' or 'lasting.' The famous 13th-14th century Italian poet Dante Alighieri helped popularize this name. The variant spelling Dontae emerged more recently, primarily in the United States, showing increased usage beginning in the 1980s and 1990s. The addition of the letter 'a' creates a slightly different pronunciation while maintaining the connection to the original name. This spelling variation follows a pattern seen in many American names where traditional names are given alternative spellings. The name has maintained modest usage in the United States, though it's less common than the standard spelling Dante. Dontae has a strong, distinctive sound that contributes to its appeal.
