Davante, pronounced duh-VAHN-tay (/dəˈvɑnteɪ/), is a modern American spin on the classic Hebrew name David, which means “beloved.” With its rhythmic flow and confident emphasis, it strikes a balance between warmth and strength—like a melody that feels both familiar and fresh. Though still relatively rare (hovering near the 900th spot in recent baby‐name rankings), Davante has been steadily climbing, much like its most famous bearer, NFL star Davante Adams, who’s known for blazing his own trail. Parents who want a name with enough tradition to honor the past—but enough originality to avoid being one of ten Davids in the playground—are drawn to Davante. It carries a quiet promise, inviting a child to grow loved and to write his own story.
