What Antonii means
Where Antonii comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Antonii comes from Antonius, a Roman family name carried by senators and generals long before it belonged to any child. Its Latin root is old enough that the Romans themselves argued over what it meant. The senses attached to it now, priceless and praiseworthy, godny podziwu in Polish, came later, once the name had traveled far from Rome.
In Ukraine the name settled deeply, and Poland shares it as Antoni. The everyday diminutive is Antek, the name a teacher calls first when a school class register reaches the letter A. Its cross-gender partner is Antonina, the same Latin root worn by a different person.
Saint Anthony of Padua gave the name a fixed day in June and a reputation as the patron of lost things. That reputation is documented. It helped keep Antonii and Antoni in use where few Latin words survived at all.
The name means what people decided it should mean: priceless.
