History & Origin
Antwoin is a phonetic respelling of Antoine, the French form of Anthony, from the ancient Roman family name Antonius. Scholars have never settled on Antonius's original meaning, so we note that honestly rather than repeating the unproven 'flower' folk story as fact.
Antwoin was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year at its peak around 1975, one of several French-style respellings of Anthony that became popular in Black American naming in the 1970s and 1980s.
