Tonka

Tonka is a name of Slavic origin, functioning primarily as a Bulgarian and South Slavic diminutive of Antonia, itself derived from the Latin family name Antonius, whose deeper roots are uncertain but possibly of Etruscan origin, carrying associations with the ancient Roman gens Antonia. The name has been used as an independent given name in Bulgaria and neighboring regions rather than merely as a pet form. Related forms include Tonya, Tonia, and Antonia.
