What is the meaning of the name Antonina ?

The baby name Antonina is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced US: /ˌæn.təˈniː.nə/ (an-tuh-NEE-nuh); Central/Eastern European: /anˈto.ni.na/ (ahn-TOH-nee-nah).

Antonina is Latin in Origin.

Antonina is the ornate feminine of the Roman family names Antonius/Antoninus, carried into Greek as Antonina and into Slavic languages via Byzantium. The root is likely Etruscan and its literal sense is unknown; later pious or folk explanations equated the name with ideas such as “priceless, inestimable” or linked it to Greek anthos “flower,” but these are associations rather than strict etymology.

Documented from Late Antiquity, it appears with early martyrs like Saint Antonina of Nicaea (4th c.) and spread through Eastern Christianity. It has been common in Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, with periodic revivals in Italy and Spain. International variants and cognates include Antonia, Antonína (Czech/Slovak), Antonija (Croatian/Serbian/Slovenian), Antonine (French), and Italian elaborations Antonella and Antonietta. Nicknames and short forms range from Toni/Tonia and Tonya to Tosia (Polish), Toñi (Spanish), Tonina (Italian/Sardinian), and Nina in East Slavic use.
