History & Origin

Anthonette is a feminine form of Anthony and a cousin of Antoinette, all from the Roman Antonius. The -ette ending, long popular for girls, gives the sturdy Anthony a graceful, ornamental turn.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its 1948 peak, with records into the late 1990s. A girl named Anthonette then would be a grandmother today, while the French Antoinette has been the more familiar form.

Did you know? Anthonette shows an English twist on Antoinette, building the feminine ending -ette straight onto Anthony rather than the French Antoine.
