Origin
Meaning and history of Antonny
The name Antonny is derived from the Latin name Antonius, which originated from an ancient Roman family name. The name Antonius is thought to be derived from the Greek word "antoneion," meaning "invaluable" or "priceless." This suggests that the name was initially associated with someone who was highly valued or esteemed.
In the early days of Christianity, the name Antonius gained prominence due to its association with Saint Anthony the Great, also known as Anthony of the Desert. Saint Anthony, who lived from around 251 to 356 AD, was an influential Christian monk and is considered the founder of Christian monasticism. His life and teachings had a significant impact on the spread of Christianity in the early centuries.
One of the earliest recorded examples of the name Antonny can be found in the 12th century. Antonny de Bourbon, born in 1151, was a French nobleman and a member of the House of Bourbon, a prominent royal family in France. He played a significant role in the politics of his time and was known for his military exploits during the Crusades.
In the Renaissance period, the name Antonny was associated with several notable figures. Antonny van Dyck, a Flemish painter born in 1599, was one of the most influential portrait artists of the 17th century. His works, which often depicted European nobility and aristocracy, are highly regarded for their technical mastery and attention to detail.
Another prominent figure with the name Antonny was Antonny Vivaldi, an Italian Baroque composer born in 1678. Vivaldi is best known for his instrumental works, particularly his violin concertos, which were groundbreaking for their time and helped shape the development of the concerto genre.
In the 19th century, Antonny Canova, an Italian sculptor born in 1757, achieved great fame for his neoclassical sculptures. His works, such as the sculpture of Cupid and Psyche, are celebrated for their attention to detail and their ability to capture the ideals of beauty and grace.
Antonny de Saint-Exupéry, a French writer and aviator born in 1900, is perhaps one of the most well-known figures with the name Antonny.

FAQ
Antonny: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Antonny?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Antonny going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Antonny a common name?
We classify Antonny as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Antonny most popular?
The single biggest year for Antonny was 2011, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Antonny is about 15 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Antonny in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Antonny a male name?

Is Antonny still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Antonny in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Antonny can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
