History & Origin

Delontae is a modern coinage marrying the De- prefix to a Lonte element with a -tae ending. Its appeal is rhythmic rather than etymological, and it appeared only rarely in American records.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen boys a year at its peak around 2011. A boy named Delontae then is still young today.

Did you know? Delontae belongs to a lively set of De- names, alongside Delonte and Deonte, that African American families coined and restyled with -tae and -tay endings.
