Meaning & origin
Andoni is a Basque male name that first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1994. It reached its highest usage in 2019, though it remains extremely rare, with fewer than 100 annual births and no rank in national popularity. The name has been on a downward trend since 2020. Andoni is essentially a regional Basque form of Anthony, a name with ancient Roman roots. While the name has not been recorded in any top states, it is most commonly found in areas with significant Basque heritage, such as the western United States. The trajectory of Andoni suggests a very niche but enduring presence among families honoring Basque culture.
Andoni is a Basque name, likely a regional form of Anthony, which itself derives from the Roman family name Antonius, of uncertain etymology.

It remains moderately common in parts of Spain, especially in the Basque Country and Navarre.
