I\u2019ve followed several conversations on parents\u2019 forums about whether Donte is a typically African American first name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Census data shows that Donte was a very rare name in the United States in the early twentieth century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although more recent census data isn\u2019t publicly available, one financial study suggests that it was still uncommon in the 1960s and early 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
