Antonio
Mediterranean male name
Antonio is a male given name, the Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese form of Anthony.
Common in Romance-language cultures and among Catholics honoring Saint Anthony.
The name appears frequently in Shakespeare—*The Merchant of Venice*, *Twelfth Night*, *The Tempest*—giving it a literary resonance in English: Antonio was always the serious one in the family.
