About Antoinette

This feminization of Anthony, like other early French forms, such as Babette and Nanette, is not heard as often as it once was, but it could be time for a reappraisal of this delicate Gallic choice.

The name is most familiar via the ill-fated Marie Antoinette, wife of King Louis XVI during the French Revolution. Antoinette Giry is a character in Phantom of the Opera. And the theatrical Tony awards were named for theatrical actress and director Antoinette Perry (born Mary Antoinette).

Other options: Antonia and Antonella.

Antoinette is also given to boys.

Pronounced an-twuh-NET.

As of October 2026, Antoinette ranked #5657 in US births in 1989 SSA, peaked at #2992 in 1966.
