Quante is in Origin.

Quante is a modern American given name, chiefly masculine, that emerged in the late 20th century within African American naming patterns favoring -ante/-onte endings. It is often interpreted as a blend of Quan (a popular short form in its own right) with the rhythmic suffix -te/-té. The name is not widely recorded before the 1980s; occurrences in U.S. data rose through the 1990s–2000s yet remained uncommon overall.

As a contemporary coinage, Quante does not carry a single established meaning. Some families associate it with Quan, while others hear echoes of Quentin/Quinton (ultimately from Latin Quintus, “fifth”) or link it stylistically to the Devante/Javonte set of names. Noted variants include Quanté, Quantae, Quantey, Quantez, and the shorter Quan; related forms in the same style include Deonte, Deante, Javonte, and Levonte. Usage is predominantly male in English-speaking contexts, though it is increasingly perceived as gender-flexible.
