Anttiri is Finnish in Origin.

Anttiri is a rare Finnic given name, likely a dialectal or Karelian reshaping of Antti and Anteri/Antero, the Finnish forms of Andreas. Via Christian tradition, it goes back to Greek Andreas (from aner/andros), meaning “man; manly, brave.” The link to St Andrew helped embed the family of names across Finland and Karelia.

Documented usage is sparse, with occurrences in eastern Finnish and Karelian records in the 19th–early 20th centuries and occasional modern revival for a regional flair. Close Finnish variants are Antti, Antero, and Anteri; wider cognates include Swedish Anders, English Andrew, French André, and Russian Andrei. Diminutives often follow Antti’s pattern (Anttu, Antsu). Anttiri thus conveys the time-honored sense of manliness and courage while standing out as a distinctive local variant.
