Antonia is Latin in Origin.

Antonia is the feminine form of the Roman family name Antonius, probably of Etruscan origin and thus of uncertain meaning; by long tradition it has been interpreted as “priceless” or “inestimable.” The name flourished in classical Rome - most notably borne by Antonia Major and Antonia Minor, daughters of Mark Antony - and later spread throughout Christian Europe via devotion to saints named Anthony, keeping Antonia in steady use from the Renaissance to modern times.

International variants include Antónia (Portuguese, Hungarian), Antônia (Brazilian Portuguese), Antonía (Icelandic), Antonija (South Slavic), Antonia (Italian, Spanish, German, English), and the related forms Antonina, Antoinette, Antonella, and Antonietta. Nicknames and diminutives range from Toni, Tonia, and Tonya/Tonja to Toñi and Antoñita. The name has enjoyed enduring appeal in many countries and cultures, appreciated for its classical gravitas balanced by friendly, modern short forms.
