History & Origin
Vontae grew from the rich African-American naming tradition of the later twentieth century, in which familiar sound-pieces — De-, La-, Von-, -tae, -shawn — combine into fresh names. Vontae pairs the Von- opening with a bright -tae close; the football player Vontae Davis is its best-known bearer. It is a coinage rather than an inherited name, which we note honestly (said 'VON-tay').
It appears only rarely in U.S. records. Rare, modern, and confident.
