History & Origin

Antoni is how Polish speakers render the old name Antony, and its traditional gloss is 'flower'. The same name travels across Europe in forms like the French Antoine and the Latin Antonius. In Poland it has long been a steady, dignified choice rather than a flashy one.

The name has real cultural weight through Antoni Gaudí, the Catalan architect behind the Sagrada Família, and Antoni Ponikowski, a Polish Prime Minister and academic. Its variants Antòni and Andoni show how the same root shifts across Catalan and Basque.

Did you know? The meaning usually attached to Antoni is 'flower', and that core idea is what gives the name most of its long-term appeal.
