Andonis is Basque, Greek in Origin.
Andonis is the Greek vernacular form and transliteration of Antonis (Αντώνης), itself a short form of Antonios (Αντώνιος), from Latin Antonius, an old Roman family name of Etruscan origin. In Greek, the digraph nt is pronounced /d/, which explains the spelling Andonis in English contexts. The original meaning is unknown; popular renderings like “priceless” are later folk etymologies rather than established linguistics.
Usage is anchored in Christian tradition through St. Anthony the Great and St. Anthony of Padua, which sustained the name across Byzantium and the modern Greek world and helped it spread widely in Europe. Cognates and variants include Antonis/Antonios (Greek), Anthony (English), Antonio (Italian/Spanish), Antoni (Polish/Catalan), Anton (German/Scandinavian/Slavic), Antón (Spanish), Antoine (French), and Basque Andoni; feminine: Antonia. Common diminutives are Tony/Toni. Not to be confused with Adonis (Άδωνις), the mythological name of separate Semitic origin.
