History & Origin
Antwoine respells Antoine, the French form of Anthony, from the Roman Antonius. The spelling was reworked to sound out 'an-TWAHN' for English speakers, and the name became a stylish choice, especially in late-twentieth-century Black American naming.
It stayed rare, peaking in the mid-1980s, and has thinned since. Antwoine reads as a distinctive period spelling of Antoine rather than a name with a current revival.
