History & Origin

Antionne is an ornate American respelling of Antoine, the French form of Anthony, from the old Roman family name Antonius. During the later twentieth century the Antoine and Antwan sound was widely embraced and freely respelled, producing forms like Antwon, Antwaun and Antionne. Each keeps the same stylish 'an-TWAHN' pronunciation while giving the name an individual look on the page.

It was never common in this spelling, reaching about fifteen boys a year at its best around 1980 and appearing from the early nineteen-seventies into the twenty-tens. An Antionne from that peak is now in his forties, and the name reads as a personal, of-its-era variation on the well-loved Antoine rather than a name with a separate tradition.

Did you know? Antionne is one of many inventive American spellings, alongside Antwan, Antwon and Antwaun, that reshaped the French Antoine in the later twentieth century.
