Antoine

Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Antoine: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2007.

The French form of Anthony, Antoine ultimately derives from the Roman family name Antonius, whose meaning is uncertain but often associated with the Latin "inestimable" or "priceless." The name is immortalised by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of the beloved novella The Little Prince, and by French footballer Antoine Griezmann, a World Cup winner. Towns such as Saint-Antoine in Quebec and San Antonio in Texas share the same etymological root, linking the name to places far beyond France. A distinguished variant, Anton is common across Eastern Europe, while Antoine remains a classic choice in Scotland, prized for its Gallic elegance and international appeal.
