Antwon Origin and Meaning

The name Antwon is a boy's name.

Antwon appears to be a phonetic variant of Antoine or Anton, names with European origins. Antoine derives from the Roman family name Antonius (of uncertain Etruscan origin), while Anton is a German, Russian, and Scandinavian form of Anthony. The spelling 'Antwon' emerged primarily in the United States in the mid-to-late 20th century as a phonetic respelling that reflects actual pronunciation patterns. The name saw increased usage during the 1970s and 1980s. This spelling variation demonstrates the natural evolution of names as they adapt to different phonological systems and spelling conventions. The popularity of basketball player Antawn Jamison (with a similar variant spelling) in the late 1990s and early 2000s may have influenced the name's visibility.
