Dante
DAHN-tay
Latin diminutive of Durant
"enduring"Dante Origin and Meaning
The name Dante is boy's name of Italian, Latin origin meaning "enduring".
Though closely associated with the great medieval Florentine poet Dante Alighieri -- who's so famous most people skip the last name -- it's not as much of a one-man name as you might think. Heck, it's not even a one-poet name, thanks to British pre-Rapahaelite Dante Gabriel Rosetti. Though especially well used in the Italian-American community, it would make a striking name for any little boy.
