Donta

Donta Origin and Meaning

The name Donta is a boy's name.

Donta is a masculine given name that emerged in the United States in the latter half of the 20th century. It may be a shortened form of names like Ladontae or a variation of Dante (derived from the medieval Italian name, ultimately from the Latin name Durant, meaning "enduring"). Another possibility is that it developed as a variant spelling of Donte. The name began appearing with more frequency in naming records during the 1970s and 1980s. While not among the most common names, it has maintained steady usage since its emergence. Donta exemplifies naming patterns that favor shorter forms, distinctive spellings, and strong consonant sounds. Several athletes have brought visibility to the name in contemporary American culture.
