What is the meaning of the name Antton ?

Antton is Basque in Origin.

Antton is a Basque and Finnish given name corresponding to Anton/Anthony, ultimately from the Roman family name Antonius of probable Etruscan origin and thus uncertain meaning; later tradition sometimes renders it as “priceless.” The double -tt reflects Basque orthography, and the form gained currency through Christian devotion to St. Anthony the Great and St. Anthony of Padua, spreading across Iberia and later standardized by Basque-language reforms. In Finland, Antton occurs as a modern variant alongside Anttoni, influenced by the widespread pan-European Anton.

Related forms include Anton, Antonio (Spanish/Italian/Portuguese), Antoni (Polish/Catalan), Antoine (French), Anthony (English), Antón (Galician/Spanish), and Finnish Anttoni; Basque-specific variants are Antxon and Andoni. Common short forms are Toni and Tonio. Usage today remains modest but steady in the Basque Country and sporadic in Finland, appreciated for its concise shape, international familiarity, and cultural specificity.
