Antonia in the Achterhoek

Dutch name Antonia in 18th century was often spelled Teune. The "eu" in Teune is also spelled "Tönne" where ö is pronounced like the u as in "Lust for Life".

Little Antonia is Teune-ken, mostly spelled "Tönneken" or -older spelling- Tönnisken. This is because Antonius (the male version of Antonia) was spelled Teunis. So Tönnisken actually means Little Anthony.
