Kentoon is in Origin.

Kentoon is an extremely rare given name that likely arises either as a creative blend of English Kent + Dutch Toon, or as a modern respelling of Kenton. Kent is from the English county name, ultimately from Brittonic cant “rim, border,” recorded in Latin as Cantium, “the coastal district,” while Toon is the Flemish/Dutch short form of Antonius (Anthony), commonly interpreted as “priceless, of great value.” If treated as a Kenton variant, the Old English element tūn “enclosure, homestead” yields a place-name sense “settlement associated with Kent.”

Day-to-day use is sporadic in the late 20th to 21st centuries among English-speakers and in Dutch-influenced communities as a distinctive, yet familiar-sounding choice. Variants and related forms include Kenton, Kynton, Kenten, Kent, Kenneth, Anton, and Toon; nicknames Ken, Kenny, and Toon. Depending on the reading, Kentoon can suggest “from the borderland,” “Kent settlement,” or a hybrid “Kent + priceless (Anthony)” meaning.
