Deunte
Pronounced dee-AWN-tay /diˈɑːn.teɪ/Low
Meaning: Deunte belongs to the Deante and Dante group of names, built from the popular De- prefix and an -unte ending that echoes -ante. Dante itself is a short form of the Italian Durante, from the Latin for 'enduring' or 'steadfast'; Deunte borrows that sound as an invented American name.Low

History & Origin
Deunte is a modern American coinage joining the De- prefix to an -unte ending in the manner of Deante and Dante. Dante descends from the Italian Durante and the Latin durare, 'to endure'; Deunte carries that rhythm forward as one of the many De- names shaped by ear in the late twentieth century.
In the United States it stayed rare, given to only about fifteen boys a year even at its peak in the late nineteen-eighties, with scattered use into the twenty-tens. A man named Deunte then is in his late thirties today.
