About Tonnie

Tonnie is a diminutive form of Anthony or Antony, names with Latin origins meaning 'priceless' or 'beyond price.' This variation features a friendly, approachable quality with its ending 'ie' sound, giving it a more casual and endearing feel than the formal Anthony. While less common than Tony (the most popular nickname for Anthony), Tonnie provides a slightly different spelling that sets it apart. The name has seen occasional usage throughout the 20th century, particularly in Dutch-speaking regions where it can also be a standalone given name. Tonnie projects warmth and friendliness while maintaining connections to the distinguished historical and religious associations of its parent name.

Tonnie is also given to girls.

Pronounced TON-ee.
