History & Origin
Avantae is a coined American name that dresses up the French word 'avant,' meaning forward or ahead. It sits alongside Avant, Avante and Devante in a family of names that draw on the sleading, forward-motion sense of the French root. The decorative -ae or -tae ending was popular in the early twenty-first century as a way to make a name look distinctive.
Avantae was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year even at its peak around 2005, with only scattered use before and after. A boy named Avantae then is about twenty today, and the name still reads as fresh and forward-leaning, true to its meaning.
