Popularity: The name Antione ranked 1155th in popularity for males of all ages in a sample of the 1990 US Census.

Though this name appears on the 1990 U.S. Census lists, it is used by only a small percentage of the general population.

Narrative: This name is based on the Roman family name of Marc Antony, friend of Julius Caesar and paramour of Cleopatra. His was an ancient family, and some believe the name comes from the language of the Etruscans, masters of the Italian peninsula before the ascendance of Rome.

The modern world's view of Marc Antony has been strongly influenced by Shakespeare's portrayal of him in the plays Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra.
