Of the sea; from the mountain
A modern American invention likely created by blending the prefix 'Da-' with the name 'Alonte' or 'Monte'. It is often interpreted as a combination of French and Italian elements suggesting a connection to the sea or mountains. It gained some visibility in the late 20th century within African American communities.
