Antônio is a bright and shining boy’s name of Brazilian and Portuguese origin, meaning “invaluable.” Like many of the names common in Brazilian culture, Antônio serves as a song to the saints of Roman Catholicism. Parents might take particular interest in Antônio for its ties to Anthony of Padua, Portugal, who was said to be praised for his power-packed preaching. And while Antonio has made a real mark on the world, the accented Antônio has a special glow that makes it worth its weight in gold.
