History & Origin

Antaniya is a modern coinage that blends an An- front with a Taniya element. Its sound recalls Antonia, the feminine of the Roman family name Antonius, and also the contemporary -niya names such as Taniya and Aniya. Antaniya belongs to the inventive naming of the two-thousands, sitting between a classical echo and a modern ending.

Antaniya was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its faint peak in the mid-two-thousands. A girl named Antaniya then is about twenty today.

Did you know? Antaniya sits at a crossroads of two families, the classical Antonia and the modern Taniya, so it can read as either a fresh twist on an old Roman name or a new -niya coinage.
