Antwain is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Antwain in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Antwain in all of the US.

Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this boys' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Antwain really in tune with his generation.
