History & Origin

Lavante belongs to the inventive La- names of its decades. It was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year at its high in the mid nineteen-nineties.

The flowing three-beat rhythm gave it a modern, spirited feel. A boy named Lavante would now be in his thirties, and the name reads as energetic and distinctive.

Did you know? The -vante ending flourished in late-century African American naming, pairing readily with La-, De-, and Da- prefixes; Lavante is one branch of that productive pattern, chosen for its smooth, confident sound.
