Anatolio is the Spanish and Italian masculine form of Late Latin Anatolius, from Greek Anatolios, ultimately from anatole meaning "sunrise" or "east," hence "man of the East" or "born at dawn." In early Christian history, the name appears with figures such as Anatolius of Laodicea, a 3rd‑century scholar‑bishop, and a 5th‑century patriarch of Constantinople; the related feminine Anatolia is a Roman martyr venerated in central Italy. Usage in Iberia and Italy has been uncommon but persistent; it surfaces occasionally in Latin America as a heritage choice.

Feminine counterparts include Anatolia and Anatolie. Diminutives abroad include Tolya (East Slavic) and Tolek (Polish). Name days vary by tradition and are often linked to saints Anatolius commemorated in early July.
