Antica

Antica is a Croatian feminine given name derived from the Latin name Anticus or the broader Latin root antiquus, meaning old or ancient. It functions as a distinctly Croatian form related to the Latin-rooted name Antica, and sits within the same family as names such as Antika and the more widespread Antica found across South Slavic naming traditions. The name has been used in Croatia for centuries, reflecting the region's deep cultural ties to Latin ecclesiastical and classical heritage.
