Antti is Finnish in Origin.

Antti is the standard Finnish and Karelian form of Andrew, ultimately from Greek Andreas, derived from anēr/andros “man” and commonly interpreted as “manly” or “brave.” Through medieval Christian influence and the cult of Saint Andrew, it entered Finnish naming tradition by the late Middle Ages; its name day aligns with St Andrew’s Day on November 30. The double -tt- reflects Finnish consonant gemination and marks the standard modern spelling.
