The Story of Anjonette
Anjonette is a creative variant of Antoinette, the French feminine form of Anthony, which derives from the ancient Roman family name Antonius. The meaning traditionally associated with it is beyond praise or priceless, though the Roman origin is uncertain. The name Antoinette became famous through Marie Antoinette, the ill-fated queen of France. Anjonette adapts this aristocratic name through the African American tradition of phonetic respelling, replacing the silent T of Antoinette with a J sound to better reflect the way the name is actually spoken.
Anjonette represents the creative respelling tradition that thrived in African American communities from the 1960s through the 1990s, when phonetic spellings of classic names became a mark of individuality.
The name carries both the regal connotations of its French origins and the creative energy of African American name culture, bridging two distinct naming traditions.
