Meaning & origin
Antwion is a modern name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1973, during the early 1970s. Its peak usage came in 1975, when it was given to 21 baby boys, the highest number recorded in a single year. After that peak, its use declined and has remained very low, with an average of fewer than five births per year since the 1990s. As of the latest year, 2025, the name continues to appear sporadically but has never come close to wide popularity. The name's trajectory shows remarkable stability at an extremely low frequency, with no recorded top states of usage, indicating its spread is scattered nationwide. Antwion is a clear example of the creative naming trends of its era, blending a familiar initial syllable with a popular suffix sound.
Antwion first appeared in U.S. birth records around 1973, during a period when invented names using the prefix Ant- (inspired by Anthony) and the suffix -ion were gaining popularity. It has no known antecedent in older languages and is best understood as a modern American innovation.
