Meaning & origin
Antionette is a spelling variant of Antoinette that saw its peak usage in 1971, according to U.S. Social Security data. The name's trajectory has been falling since 1987, and it has not appeared in the top 1000 for many years. Historically, the French source Antoinette gained prominence through Marie Antoinette, but the Antionette spelling is distinctly American. While it never achieved widespread popularity, its 1970s peak reflects a broader trend for ornate feminine names ending in '-ette.' The variant is rare today, making it an uncommon choice.
Antionette is a spelling variant of Antoinette, the French feminine diminutive of Antoine (English Anthony), derived from the Roman family name Antonius, of uncertain Etruscan origin. Historically, the name was borne by Marie Antoinette, queen of France, though the variant Antionette emerged later in English-speaking countries, particularly the United States, as a simplified or respelled form.
