History & Origin

Antwann is one of the phonetic American spellings of Antoine, the French form of the Roman Antonius. The name is traditionally read as 'priceless' or 'praiseworthy', and the Antwan/Antwann respellings, popular in African American naming, keep the sound while dropping the French look.

It stayed a modest name: only a couple dozen boys a year, with a high point around 1982 and a run continuing thinly into the twenty-tens. A boy named Antwann then is in his forties now. It travels with the Antwan and Antoine spellings rather than standing out on its own.

Did you know? Antwann is Antoine spelled the way it sounds: the French classic, from the Roman family name Antonius, respelled and given an extra 'n' in American use.
