Antaniece is a modern American feminine given name, most often understood as a creative elaboration of the Anthony/Antoine family (from Latin Antonius) blended with the -niece/-nise ending familiar from Denise and Bernice. Because of this link to Antonius - whose exact origin is uncertain but is traditionally interpreted as “priceless, of inestimable worth” - many parents read Antaniece as carrying a sense of precious value, with a bright, lilting cadence.

The name appears in U.S. records from the late 20th century, particularly within African-American communities that champion inventive phonology and family-honoring blends. Spellings vary widely: Antoniece, Antanise, Antoneice, Antaniese, and Antanece are all attested. Nicknames include Niecey/Niecy, Ani, Tani, and Neesie. Though never common nationally, Antaniece fits a broader pattern of personalized -iece/-ise endings inspired by Bernice, Janice, and Denise, offering a distinctive yet culturally resonant alternative to Antonia or Antoinette.
