Antwon is French, Latin in Origin.
Antwon is an American phonetic respelling of French Antoine, the French form of Anthony. The line reaches back to Latin Antonius, first a Roman nomen borne by the gens Antonia; that is the earliest secure form. Its deeper source is uncertain, often suspected to be Etruscan, so no reliable literal meaning can be assigned. The later spelling Anthony reflects a medieval association with Greek anthos, flower, rather than the original etymology.
In use, Antwon belongs mainly to the United States, where it appears in Social Security records from the mid twentieth century and rose most in the 1980s, peaking in 1990. It sits among American variants such as Antwan, Antwaun, and Antawn, shaped by the pronunciation of Antoine. The broader Anthony family gained Christian currency through saints including Anthony the Great and Anthony of Padua, while Antwon itself is chiefly a modern vernacular spelling.
