Antwann

Antwann is a variant spelling of Antoine/Antwan, names derived from the Latin 'Antonius' (Anthony in English). The double 'n' represents a distinctive spelling variation that emerged in English-speaking contexts. The original name Antoine is the French form of Anthony, which ultimately derives from the Roman family name Antonius of uncertain Etruscan origins. Antwann gained usage primarily in the United States during the late 20th century. The pronunciation typically follows the pattern of Antwan (an-TWAHN), with the spelling variation not substantially changing how the name is spoken. This spelling variant exhibits the linguistic phenomenon of personalized orthography, where traditional names are given unique spellings while maintaining their phonetic integrity. Usage remains relatively uncommon compared to more standard forms.

Pronounced an-TWAHN.

As of October 2026, Antwann ranked #10752 in US births in 2015 SSA, peaked at #1932 in 1982.
