Worthy of praise; beyond price
Toneshia is a modern American creation, likely developed as an elaboration of the name Tone or Antonia. It combines the Latin roots of Antonius with the popular '-esha' or '-ia' suffixes common in African American naming traditions during the late 20th century. It carries the inherited meaning of being invaluable or highly praised.
