History & Origin

Jevante is a coined boys' name from the Devante family, swapping the usual De- for a Je- opening. Part of the inventive African American naming of the early nineties, it carries no old etymology - its appeal is its confident, flowing sound.

It appeared only in small numbers, peaking faintly in the early nineties and fading soon after. Never common, it reads as a name tightly tied to its moment.

Did you know? Jevante belongs to the same -vante cluster as Devante and Davante, names that spread in the early nineties partly on the fame of the group Jodeci's DeVante Swing.
