Thinking about the name

Tonni

Latin origin

A shortened, informal variant of Tonya with a friendly, approachable sound. Tonni feels contemporary and casual, stripping the formal Antonius root down to its most energetic core. The double-i ending adds a playful, modern touch that appeals to parents seeking a familiar name with a personalized spin.
