Twan appears to have multiple possible origins. It may be a shortened form of Antoine (the French form of Anthony, meaning 'priceless one' or 'highly praiseworthy'), particularly common in its pronunciation in some American dialects. Alternatively, it could be derived from the Dutch name Antwan or function as a standalone name. Twan gained modest usage in the United States from the 1970s onward, though it has never been among the most common names. The shortening of traditional names to create more informal variants became increasingly popular in late 20th century American naming practices. Twan exemplifies this trend of creating accessible, distinctive variations of traditional names while maintaining a connection to established naming patterns.
