Her mother was Maria Theresa and she and all her sisters had the first name Maria. Her name was Maria Antonia. Marie Antoinette was what her name was changed to when she married the dauphin of France, because Marie Antoinette is the French version of Maria Antonia. As a child, she went by Antonia (because she and all her sisters had the same first name), so as a French name, Antoine would be the equivalent of Antonia. That's most likely where is came from.
