Combination name, likely meaning 'God is gracious' or 'enduring'
Keante is a modern American invention, likely created by blending the prefix 'Ke-' with the name Dante or Anthony. It often draws its meaning from its constituent parts, such as the Latin 'durans' (enduring) or the Hebrew 'Yohanan' (God is gracious). It emerged in the late 20th century as part of a trend of rhythmic, multi-syllabic names in African American communities.
