Toniette is a charming Italian feminine given name derived from "toni," meaning "healthy," with the suffix "-ette" indicating smallness or endearment. It emerged during the Renaissance period in Italy as a wish for good health and prosperity, gaining popularity among Italian nobility and eventually spreading to other European countries. Despite its rarity today, Toniette has a unique sound and vintage charm that appeals to parents seeking something different for their daughter. Pronounced "toh-NYET," it does not relate to any specific trait or characteristic but allows bearers the freedom to forge their own paths in life.
