What Does the Name Antoni Mean?
Antoni is a form of Anthony, from the Latin family name Antonius (Greek Antōnios). The literal meaning of Antonius is uncertain; it is generally considered to be of Etruscan origin, but no reliable translation has been established. A traditional gloss gives the meaning as "priceless" or "invaluable," but this is a customary interpretation rather than a securely documented etymology.
Antoni is the standard form in Catalan and Polish, and it also appears in Welsh. It is not a separate root: it corresponds to English Anthony, French Antoine, Spanish and Italian Antonio, and German Anton, all from the same Latin source. The form Antoni keeps the Latin stem without the English h or the final -o of Antonio.
Antoni Name History & Origins
The name goes back to the Roman family name Antonius. Its best-known ancient bearer was Marcus Antonius, the Roman general and politician known in English as Mark Antony (83 - 30 BC). As a Roman clan name, Antonius was not originally a personal given name in the modern sense; it became a personal name in Christian Greek and Latin as Antōnios and Antonius.
The name is associated with two saints: Anthony the Great (c. 251 - 356), an Egyptian monk, and Anthony of Padua (1195 - 1231), a Portuguese Franciscan. The form Antoni developed in Catalan and Polish, among other languages, as a local adaptation of Latin Antonius. Catalan uses Antoni with the diminutive Toni; Polish uses Antoni with diminutives such as Antek and Antoś. Welsh also has Antoni as a form of Anthony. In Catalan-speaking regions, the feast of Sant Antoni on 17 January is marked by local festivals.
In English-speaking countries, Antoni is used as a given name, often reflecting Catalan, Polish, or Welsh family background. It should not be confused with Antonio, the Spanish and Italian form, or Antoine, the French form, though all share the same Latin source.
