Tonica
t(o)-ni-ca
US Popularity:11911
Origin:Portuguese
Meaning:Highly praiseworthy; Man; Tonic
Just being in little Tonica's company will feel like breathing in fresh air or looking at a beautiful view. While its spelling matches tonica, the Spanish and Italian word for "tonic," Tonica is best described as a shortened form of another moniker. Antonica is a Portuguese variant of Antonia, the feminine form of the Latin and Roman title Antonius. Earning its definitions from Antonius, Tonica may translate to "highly praiseworthy" in Etruscan or "man" in Greek, though confirming these meanings is a little challenging. Every time your Tonica leaves everyone giggling or brings their calming presence to a room, your pride in them will be unmistakable.
