Origin
Meaning and history of Antravion
The given name Antravion is a relatively modern construct, likely derived from a combination of linguistic elements from various cultures and languages. While its precise origins are uncertain, it appears to be a blend of the Latin prefix "ante," meaning "before" or "prior to," and the French word "ravion," which is a variant spelling of the word "rayon," meaning "ray" or "beam."
This blending of Latin and French elements suggests that Antravion may have been coined or popularized in regions where these languages intersected, possibly in parts of Europe or the Americas during the colonial era. However, there is no definitive evidence of the name's usage in ancient texts, religious scriptures, or historical records from those eras.
The earliest recorded instances of the name Antravion are relatively recent, dating back to the late 20th century. Due to its uncommon nature, there are few notable historical figures who bore this name. One possible example is Antravion Jones, an American football player who played for the University of Florida in the early 2000s.
Another individual with this first name is Antravion Taylor, a basketball player from Georgia who competed at the collegiate level in the late 2010s. While not widely famous, these athletes may have contributed to the name's limited recognition and use.
Beyond these examples, it is challenging to find other noteworthy individuals throughout history who carried the name Antravion. The name's relative novelty and obscurity make it difficult to trace a comprehensive lineage or identify significant historical figures associated with it.
It is worth noting that the combination of linguistic elements in Antravion may have been influenced by cultural trends or naming conventions in certain regions or communities, but the specific details of its origin and evolution remain largely undocumented.

FAQ
Antravion: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Antravion?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Antravion going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Antravion a common name?
We classify Antravion as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Antravion most popular?
The single biggest year for Antravion was 2010, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Antravion is about 16 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Antravion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Antravion a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Antravion in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Antravion still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Antravion in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Antravion can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
