History & Origin

Deantre is a coined boys' name that pairs the familiar De- prefix with an ending near Dante. It appears in United States records from the mid 1980s, part of a broad wave of inventive De- names.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year around its mid-nineties high. A boy named Deantre then is in his thirties now, from a generation that made a hallmark of fresh De- names.

Did you know? It sits squarely in the De- family beside Deandre and Deshawn, coined for rhythm more than for a dictionary meaning.
