Andonie
Definition
A Romanian patronymic surname, used as a direct regional graphic or phonetic variant for the Christian first name Antonie or Anton. This term represents a structural identity mark specific to the onomastics of Moldova and Transylvania, where the voicing of the initial consonant (from T to D) led to the emergence of a distinct and hereditary linguistic form.
