What is the meaning of the name Antolin ?

Antolin is Spanish in Origin.

Antolin is the Spanish form of Antolín, from Late Latin Antoninus, a derivative of the Roman family name Antonius. The suffix -inus denotes “belonging to” or “descendant of,” so the name essentially means “of the Antonius line.” The ultimate origin of Antonius is Etruscan and uncertain, though medieval and modern tradition has often glossed the broader Anthony group as “priceless, inestimable.” Both spellings, Antolín and Antolin, appear in Iberian and diaspora contexts.

In the Iberian Peninsula the name gained currency through the cult of San Antolín (Saint Antoninus of Pamiers), patron of Palencia, whose veneration in medieval Spain placed Antolín among regional saint-names. It remains uncommon but recognizable in Spain and Spanish-influenced regions, sometimes appearing as a surname. Related forms include Antonino (It./Sp.), Antonín (Cz.), Antonin (Fr.), Anton (Ger./Slav.), and Anthony/Antonio; the historical Latin form is Antoninus. Diminutives may mirror the Anthony family, such as Anto or Toni.
