Antonella

Antonella is an elaborate feminine form of Anthony growing in popularity throughout Latin America as well as in the US. It first entered the US charts back in 2017 and has since shot into the Top 300, given to around 1330 girls in a recent year.

Also on trend in Spain, Uruguay, Puerto Rico, Chile, and Mexico, it remains in the Italian Top 200, though it has declined in popularity since the 90s. It is notably borne by actresses Antonella Rose and Antonella Costa, singer Antonella Ruggiero, TV host Antonella Clerici, and influencer Antonela Roccuzzo.

Antonella has overtaken the traditional Antonia in the US (though not in Italy, England and Wales, Poland, Austria, or Chile), perhaps because it offers an even wider ranger of nicknames, including Ana, Annie, Toni, Nella, Nell, Nellie, and Ella.

Antonella is also given to boys.

Pronounced an-tuh-NEL-uh.

As of October 2026, Antonella ranked #12474 in US births in 2022 SSA.
