Antwain

Antwain is a modern masculine given name that appears to be a variant spelling of Antoine or Antwan. The name Antoine originates from the Roman family name Antonius, which gave rise to several names across different languages. The variation Antwan emerged in the United States during the late 20th century as an anglicized phonetic spelling of the French Antoine. Antwain represents a further distinctive spelling that began appearing in American naming records in the 1970s and gained modest popularity through the 1980s and 1990s. The name has maintained a presence in U.S. naming records but remains relatively uncommon. Like many names with multiple spelling variations, Antwain allows families to personalize the traditional name while maintaining its phonetic pronunciation.

Pronounced ant-WAYN.
