Antonius is generally considered Etruscan in origin, and its original sense is not known.

Antwane Name History & Origins
Antwane is a spelling variant of Antoine, the French form of Anthony. The root is the Roman family name Antonius, borne by the general Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony, 83 - 30 BC). The name was used in Christian Europe in honor of Saint Anthony the Great, an Egyptian hermit of the 3rd and 4th centuries, and Saint Anthony of Padua (1195 - 1231). In France, the Latin name became Antoine. English speakers adopted Anthony and also borrowed Antoine directly. The Antwane spelling is an English-language respelling of Antoine, related to forms such as Antwan, Antwon, and Antwaine. It is not a traditional French spelling; it reflects an English pronunciation of the French name.
