History & Origin
Anntoinette is a variant of Antoinette, itself the French feminine diminutive of Antoine. The parent name goes back to the Roman clan name Antonius, whose meaning is genuinely uncertain, so the 'praiseworthy' gloss often attached to it is a later folk reading rather than a proven root.
It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak in the early nineteen-sixties, riding the mid-century fashion for French-flavored names. A girl named Anntoinette then is in her sixties today.
