Lavontae
Meaning of Lavontae
Lavontae (pronounced luh-VON-tay; /ləˈvɑn.teɪ/) is a masculine given name of modern American origin that emerged within late 20th-century African American naming conventions through the concatenation of the productive prefix La- and the base form Vontae, the latter of which likely represents a phonological adaptation of the French Antoine fused with the Tae element to yield a singular morphological construct. Data from the U.S. Social Security Administration indicate that Lavontae first entered the national birth registers in the early 1990s and has since occupied positions between ranks 755 and 933, reaching a peak frequency in 2007 with 23 instances (rank 866) and recording eight instances (rank 916) in 2024, thereby illustrating its sustained yet infrequent utilization. This appellation’s structural creativity and measured persistence reflect broader Anglo-American trends favoring the inventive recombination of linguistic morphemes to achieve distinctive personal identifiers within a formal naming framework.
