Antillia Origin and Meaning

The name Antillia is a girl's name meaning "fore-island, island of the other, opposite island".

A unique place name originating from a Spanish local legend, that later became a phantom island portrayed on real maps in the 15th century. Antillia has an elegant sound — reminiscent of the well-loved Amelia, or like a combination of Antonia with other classic -lia names like Cecilia — and also provides the cute nickname Tilly. It could be a chic and unexpected choice for a modern baby girl.
