History & Origin

Jovante is a modern coinage rather than a traditional name, formed from a Jo- opening and a fashionable -vante close shared with Devante and Dante. It appeared from the early 1980s and crested around 1992 at a few dozen boys a year.

The name reads as a confident, of-its-era invention with a bold final stress. A Jovante from the peak would be in his thirties now, and it has stayed uncommon since.

Did you know? The -ante/-vante ending, borrowed from names like Dante and Devante, gave late-century boys' names a strong, drawn-out final beat.
