Antje Origin and Meaning

The name Antje is a girl's name of German origin.

Antje is a feminine name of Dutch and Frisian origin, serving as a diminutive form of Anna. This charming name ultimately derives from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor.' Particularly popular in the Netherlands and northern Germany, Antje has been a traditional choice for centuries in these regions. The pronunciation (typically AHN-tyuh) may present some challenges in English-speaking countries, where the name remains relatively uncommon. Despite its rarity in the United States and other Anglophone nations, Antje offers a distinctive European flair with its compact form and gentle sound. The name carries the warmth and timeless quality of its root name Anna, while providing a more distinctive alternative with strong cultural connections to Dutch heritage.
