Like überall? Maybe jirgendwo vs nüberall are the better words. Like neverywhere or nalways.

There is irgendwo. Which is somewhere. So you were close. It's a proper antonym where even the quantifier inverts as in first order logic. Presumably irgendwo was first. There is also irgendwer. Weirdly nirgendwer is not common. That's niemand.

I think an antonym is a polar opposite, not a negation. (hot --> cold rather than hot --> not hot)
