History & Origin

Shavontae is a modern coinage that joins the widely used Sha- prefix to a Vontae element. It belongs to the inventive Shavon and Shavonne family, and its -vontae ending echoes the boys' names Davontae and Devontae. Names of this shape were prized in the nineteen-nineties for their full, musical sound.

Shavontae was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its faint peak in the early nineteen-nineties. A girl named Shavontae then is in her mid-thirties today.

Did you know? The -vontae ending in Shavontae also drives boys' names like Davontae and Devontae, so the same fashionable sound crossed easily between girls' and boys' coinages in the nineties.
