Antionetta is Italian in Origin.

Antionetta is a rare modern variant merging Italian Antonietta and French Antoinette, both feminine forms of Anthony. The root traces to the Roman family name Antonius, probably of Etruscan origin; while its exact meaning is uncertain, it is commonly interpreted as “priceless” or “inestimable.” The -etta ending reflects the Italian diminutive that conveys affection or smallness, paralleling French -ette.

Usage appears in Italian and Italian‑diaspora records from the late 19th to mid‑20th centuries, likely influenced by devotion to Saint Anthony and the prestige of French courtly forms. Today Antionetta remains uncommon, often treated as an alternative spelling of Antonietta or Antoinetta. Close variants include Antonietta, Antonetta, Antoinetta, Antoinette, Antonia, Antonina, and the Spanish/Catalan Antonieta; short forms and nicknames include Toni, Tonetta, Etta, Nettie, and Nina. The name carries a classic, Old World elegance while feeling distinctive through its blended spelling.
