Anthony Name Meaning, Origin & Pronunciation
Anthony means priceless (folk meaning). From the Latin Antonius, a Roman family name of uncertain origin.
Anthony comes from the Latin Antonius, a Roman family name whose origin is uncertain, possibly Etruscan. The spelling with H came from a mistaken link to the Greek anthos, meaning flower, and some parents like the folk meaning of priceless. Mark Antony, the Roman general, and Saint Anthony of Egypt, an early monastic leader, helped the name spread. It has been used steadily in English, with Tony as a classic short form. Antonio is the form in Spanish and Italian, and Antoine in French. Anthony Hopkins, the Welsh actor, is a well-known bearer.
