It could be deriving from the word odontas=tooth in ancient Greek. Actually in modern Greece the surname "Dontas" is common.
Considering also that if you write the name in capital Greek alphabet characters the last letter (sigma) can be easily perceived as E.

Sorry...(m)
But the only reason Dontae is listed as a Latin name is because it's a creative spelling of Dante, which itself comes from the Latin "durantem," which means enduring; it's the gerundive of the verb "duro, durare," to endure or to remain unchanged. I speak Latin, and I could find no word that looks remoatly like Dontae. The ending -ae is a pseudo-Latinate ending, but probably just a phonetic way to spell out the "e" in Dante. Besides, -ae is a feminine ending in Latin, so it would hardly be likely to be used as a male name if it was indeed from the Latin.
It's possible, but a long stretch, to say that Dontae comes from the verb "dono," to give or sacrifice. I also couldn't find any reference to a French painter by this name. Do you know the last name of this painter? It may simply be that, in the years before standardization of spellings, Dante was spelled in a number of ways including Dontae, such as Shakespeare was also Shakspear, Shakespear, etc.

I was just about...
to type an answer similiar to this one. And add that a creative or non-standard spelling of a name does not actually change its meaning, unless it is based on another actual name or word, hence the similiarity is a coincidence.
