Tonee is a creative feminine spelling variation of the more common name Toni, which itself derives from Antonia or Anthony, ultimately from the Roman family name Antonius.

The double 'e' ending creates a playful, youthful quality that distinguishes it from more traditional spellings while maintaining the name's classic roots.
