Vonte
Pronounced VON-tay /ˈvɑn.teɪ/Medium
Meaning: Vonte is an American boy's name that stands alone from the -vonte piece of longer names such as Davonte and Devonte. Those blend familiar prefixes with an ending that echoes Dante, so Vonte carries a stylish sound rather than a set dictionary meaning.Low

History & Origin
Vonte is best read as a clipped form of Davonte, Devonte and similar coined names, keeping the -vonte element that recalls Dante. It reflects the inventive American naming of the later twentieth century, prizing rhythm and sound, and has always been rare on its own.
It was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year at its peak around 1994, and it stayed rare. A man named Vonte then is in his early thirties today.
