History & Origin

Deuntae combines the De- prefix with an -untae ending in the orbit of Dante, 'enduring.' Coining names from a familiar prefix and a fashionable ending was a common pattern in its era.

It stayed rare, given to only about fifteen boys a year around its early-nineteen-nineties peak. A boy named Deuntae then is in his thirties today.

Did you know? The De- prefix generated a wide set of boys' names in a single generation, and Deuntae is one of the -ontae members that leans on the sound of Dante.
