Toney Origin and Meaning

The name Toney is a girl's name.

Toney as a feminine name is an unusual variant of Toni or Antonia, ultimately derived from the Latin Antonius, a Roman family name of uncertain Etruscan origins. While more commonly recognized as a masculine name or surname, Toney for girls represents a distinctive, gender-bending option. The name carries a casual, approachable quality with its friendly sound and informal feel. As a feminine choice, Toney remains exceptionally rare, appealing to parents seeking unconventional naming options. It may also be used as a nickname for Antonia or similar names. The spelling with an 'e' before the 'y' gives this short name a unique visual distinction from the more common variant Tony.
