Antione is a unique and distinctive given name of French origin, derived from the Latin 'Antonius'. It means 'priceless' or 'highly praiseworthy', which are qualities that have been admired throughout history. This name gained popularity in France during the Middle Ages but has since become less common there, while it remains a rare yet notable choice in other parts of the world, particularly among English-speaking communities. Antione is often associated with individuals who stand out due to their uncommon name and strong, positive character.
The name Antoine experienced a notable spike in popularity between 1973 and 1974, with the number of births nearly doubling from five to ten during that year. However, it appears that this was an aberration as the numbers fluctuated between five and six births annually before and after this peak. In total, there were 49 babies named Antoine born over these eight years.
