Meaning & origin
Anthuan is a rare modern name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2007. It has seen a gradual increase in usage since 2011, but remains uncommon: in 2025, it ranked 5,208 and was given to approximately 1 in every 94,893 baby boys. The name's peak frequency so far was in 2025, suggesting it may be gaining modest traction, though it has not been recorded in any top state rankings. Given its recent coinage, Anthuan appears to be a creative variation on the classic Anthony, using a modern -uan suffix that fits current naming trends. Parents drawn to Anthuan often pair it with similarly styled sibling names such as Aaliyah, Jayla, Jayden, or Elijah.
