Antwine is a unique and uncommon given name of African origin, meaning "sweet wine" in Swahili. It is derived from the name Anthoni, which itself comes from the Latin 'Antonius', a family name used by members of the Roman gens Anthony. The name gained some popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century but remains relatively rare today.
The name Antwine experienced significant fluctuations in popularity throughout the 20th century and into the early 21st century. Its peak years were between 1969 to 1982, with a notable spike in 1976 (22 births), and again from 1988 to 1993, reaching a high of 18 births in both 1988 and 1993. However, since the mid-1990s, its usage has declined significantly, with fewer than 10 births per year occurring consistently since then, except for brief periods in 2007 (10 births) and 2014 (7 births). Overall, there were a total of 494 births named Antwine from 1930 to 2014.
