Antonina

Antonina is a Latin feminine form of Antoninus, itself a derivative of the Roman family name Antonius, whose deeper origin is uncertain though it may relate to an Etruscan root. The name was borne by several early Christian martyrs and saints venerated in both Eastern and Western traditions, which helped spread its use across Europe. It remains common in Italian, Polish, Russian, and other Slavic languages. Related forms include Antonia, Antoinette, and the masculine Antonino.
