Ante is masculine given name found mainly in Croatia and in the Nordic countries or among people with Croatia and Nordic ancestry elsewhere.

Ante (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a common Croatian name, among the top 100 names in Croatia, with over 30,000 bearers.[1] In Croatia, the name Ante was among the top ten most common masculine given names in the decades up to 1959.[2] It is cognate to the name Antun, in turn derived from the Roman gentile name Antonius. It started to spread through the veneration of Anthony the Great and esp. of Anthony of Padua. Other cognates include Anton, Antonije, Anto, Toni, Tonko, Tonči, Antonija, etc.[3][4]

AnteTemplate:Pron is also a Swedish male first name, unrelated to the names that derive from Antonius, and instead is a diminutive form of Anders and Andreas.[5]

Antė is the Lithuanian form of the name, a diminutive of Antanas, and to a lesser extent Anton, Antonio and Antonijo.[6][7]
