Antonnette is a unique and uncommon name of French origin. It is derived from the French name "Antoinette," which is a feminine form of the name Antoine. Antoine is a variant of the Latin name Antoninus, which was borne by several early saints and is also associated with the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus.
The meaning of Antonnette is "priceless" or "invaluable," which comes from the Latin word "Antonius." This name has been popular throughout history, with some notable bearers including Marie Antoinette, the wife of King Louis XVI of France who was famous for her lavish lifestyle and eventual execution during the French Revolution.
Despite its historical significance and elegant sound, Antonnette is not a common name today. However, it remains an appealing choice for parents looking for a distinctive and meaningful name for their daughter.
The name Anntonette experienced its peak popularity between 1968 and 1970, with a significant jump from 5 to 7 to 10 births respectively during those years. However, it appears that this popularity was short-lived, as the number of births fluctuated greatly in subsequent years, never reaching the same high again. Overall, Anntonette had a total of 92 births recorded over these years.
