Antone as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Antone

What is the meaning of the name Antone ?

The baby name Antone is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AN-tone; /ˈæn.toʊn/.

Antone is Latin in Origin.

Antone is a vernacular form of the Anthony/Anton family, ultimately from the Roman clan name Antonius. The root is probably Etruscan and therefore of uncertain meaning, though later European usage associated the name with Greek anthos, “flower,” which explains the intrusive h in Anthony. Modern baby-name glosses often give “priceless” or “of inestimable worth,” but that sense is conventional rather than etymologically secure.

Used in English since the 19th century, Antone appears in records of the American West, the Gulf South, and Hawaii, reflecting French- and Portuguese-influenced communities where Antoine and António were adapted to local spelling. It remains an uncommon traditional choice in the United States. Related forms include Anthony, Antony, Antoine, Anton, Antonio, Antoni, Antonino, and Antonin; feminine counterparts are Antonia, Antoinette, and Antonina. Nicknames include Tony, Toni (male in many languages), and Tone.
