Duonte is in Origin.

Duonte is a modern American given name, most often masculine. It likely evolved as a creative spelling of Deonte/Deontae - names built on Deon, an English form of Greek Dion (from Dionysios, "of Dionysus"). The Du- opening and -te ending reflect contemporary African-American naming patterns that blend familiar roots with fresh phonetics. Some parents also perceive kinship with Dante, the Italian form of Durante, yielding the secondary sense "enduring."

In U.S. use since the late 20th century, Duonte remains uncommon compared to Deonte and Dontae, appearing sporadically in records rather than as a chart mainstay. Close variants include Deonte, Deontae, Deonta, Deontay, Dontae, Dontay, Duante, and Duontae. Taken together, these forms carry layered associations: either "of/follower of Dionysus" via Greek tradition, or "enduring, steadfast" through the Dante/Durante pathway.
