Also used as a variant of Tanya.
I do believe the meaning of Tonya is Priceless!
Tonya did derive from Antonia. I can see how it can seem that it derived from many other similar names based on the other comments posted. But it derived from Antonia. It is a very pretty name. I love the name Antonia and Tonya.
Tonya is derived from Antonia which was the female form of Anthony. So Tonya came from Anthony. It means Priceless.
Also the name Tonya derived from Tania which dervived from Tatiana. Tonya also means fairy queen. Beyond praise, priceless, fairy queen.
I like the name Tonya. It's my name as well. I don't know many other Tonya's. Researching the name I have found the name Tonya to have originated from different origins. My name is Spanish meaning Praiseworthy and Priceless. At least that's what I found. I also came across the name could have derived from the Name Tatiana. I have seen Tonya used by English, Russian and Spanish.
Another comment to add about the name Tonya after doing some research on the name. It derived from the following names:
Antonio- English meaning Highly Praiseworthy.
Antonia- Spanish and Latin meaning beyond price.
Anthony- Latin meaning priceless.
Tatiana- Russian meaning a saints name. Also, Tatiana was a name used by shakespeare in a Midsummers Nights Dream. I think the name Tonya is beautiful and not to common. Lots of people tell me they like my name. It's neat to see how it derived from so many other names.
