I love this name a lot! So elegant and pretty sounding. My 3rd Great-grandmother's name was Antonina.
Another great name which I have never heard of! I actually thought I made this name up because I would like to name my next child after my late father, Anthony, whether it's a boy or a girl. I also love the name Nina so I put the names together and "made up" Antonina. I looked it up on a whim and was so excited that it's a real name because I don't really like made up names.
The Polish pet form of Antonina is Tosia (TAW-sha). [noted -ed]
