Origin:French
Meaning:Highly praiseworthy; Flower; Man
The girl’s name Antionette is of French, Etruscan, Latin, and Greek origins and fittingly means “highly praiseworthy.” However, this meaning is actually debated, and other theories include “flower” from anthros and “man” from anthropos. Keen historians will recognize this name thanks to the last Queen of France, Marie Antoinette. Married to Louis XVI, this duo were the last monarchs of France and eventually made way for Napoleon Bonaparte. For a name that highlights a key moment in European history, it has to be Antionette.
