Antoinette is in Origin.
Antoinette is the French feminine diminutive of Antoine, the French form of Anthony, ultimately from the Roman family name Antonius. Though Antonius is probably of Etruscan origin and thus opaque in meaning, Antoinette is widely associated with the sense “priceless” or “of inestimable worth,” by popular link to Greek an- (“not”) + timē (“price, honor”). The -ette ending marks a petite, affectionate nuance in French naming.
Used in France from the late medieval period under the influence of St. Anthony’s cult, the name gained aristocratic sheen in the 17th–18th centuries and became emblematic through Queen Marie Antoinette. It entered English use via French fashion, enjoying peaks in the early to mid–20th century in the United States and elsewhere. Variants and cognates include Antonette, Antionette, Antonietta (Italian), and Antonieta (Spanish/Portuguese); common short forms are Toni, Tonette, Netta, Nette, and Etta.
