Antoninas is Latin in Origin.

Antoninas is the Lithuanian masculine form of Latin Antoninus, a derivative of the Roman family name Antonius. The name echoes the Antonine era of the Roman Empire (e.g., Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius Antoninus) and entered Baltic usage through church Latin and the cult of Saint Anthony. In Lithuania it appears in older clerical records and literary contexts, while everyday use more often favors the cognates Antanas or Antonas.

Because Antonius is of Etruscan, hence uncertain, origin, Antoninas carries no agreed literal meaning; medieval folk etymology linked it to Greek anthos “flower,” and modern naming guides sometimes gloss it as “priceless, of inestimable worth.” International variants include Antoninus/Antoninos, Antonin/Antonín, Antoni, Antonio/Antonino, Antoine, Anthony, Anton, and the Baltic forms Antanas, Antonas, Antons, and Antonijs. Feminine counterparts are Antonina and Antonija.
