Etymology
Antone is generally a surname formed from a personal name, most often a variant of Anthony/Antony. Those given names go back to the Roman name Antonius, which was borrowed into many European languages in forms such as Antoine, Antonio, and Antone. In surname use, it typically meant “son of” or “family of” someone named Antone or Anthony, rather than referring to a place or occupation.
History
The surname is found in English-speaking records as well as in communities with Romance-language naming traditions, where it may reflect local pronunciation or spelling of the personal name Antonio or Antoine. In the United States, Antone is relatively uncommon and may also appear alongside related surnames such as Antin, Anton, Antonio, and Anthony. Because spelling was often fluid in earlier records, the same family line can appear under several close variants.
