Meaning & origin
Antrone is a rare modern name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1968 and peaked in 1976, though it has never ranked in the top 1000. Its trajectory has been stable, with only occasional use in any given year. The name appears to be an invented creation, possibly combining elements from other names, and carries no well-attested meaning or historical background. Parents choosing Antrone today are selecting a distinctive and uncommon name with a sound that fits within the broader pattern of African American invented names from the late 20th century.
Antrone appears to be a modern coinage, possibly formed by blending the common prefix 'An-' (as in Anthony or Antoine) with the suffix '-trone', which may be influenced by names like DeAndre or Antron. It first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1968 and saw its peak usage in 1976, but it has never ranked among the top 1000 names. Its use has remained very rare and sporadic.
