Description:
Antone is a masculine name derived from the Latin Antonius, sharing roots with the more common Anthony. The name carries the meaning "priceless" or "of inestimable worth." This variant spelling emerged in Mediterranean and Hispanic cultures, though it appears across various European traditions. Throughout history, Antone has maintained modest usage without reaching widespread popularity. In the United States, it experienced its highest usage in the early 20th century among immigrant communities before declining. The name carries a warm, classic quality with its distinctive ending, offering an alternative to the more conventional Anthony while retaining its dignified heritage and meaningful roots.
