Antione is a variant spelling of Antoine, the French form of Latin Antonius, a Roman family name of uncertain etymology. Traditionally associated with the Greek word 'antheos' meaning 'flowery,' but more likely of Etruscan origin. The name has been used in France since the Middle Ages, borne by saints and nobles, and spread to English-speaking countries via French influence.
