From the edge or of the surf
A modern American name likely derived from the Spanish phrase 'del ante' meaning 'from before' or 'in front', or a variation of the French 'de la ante' referring to the edge or surf. It gained popularity in the late 20th century as a rhythmic, creative choice within the African American community.
