Ante (name)

Ante is masculine given name found mainly in Croatia and in the Nordic countries.

Ante (pronounced [ǎːnte]) is a common Croatian name, among the top 100 names in Croatia, with over thirty thousand bearers.[1] It is cognate to the name Antun, in turn derived from the Roman gentile name Antonius. It started to spread through the veneration of Anthony the Great and esp. of Anthony of Padua. Other cognates include Anton, Antonije, Anto, Toni, Tonko, Tonči, Antonija, etc.[2][3]

Ante is also a Swedish male first name, unrelated to the names that derive from Antonius, and instead is a diminutive form of Anders and Andreas.[4]
