Antea is Greek in Origin.
Antea is a feminine name with Greek roots, most directly related to Anthea/Antheia, from anthos meaning “flower” or “blossom.” A classical form, Anteia (Latinized as Antea), appears in ancient literature: in the Bellerophon legend, Anteia/Antea is the queen who falsely accuses the hero. Through these channels the form Antea entered later European naming traditions, distinguished by its crisp -ea ending.
Renaissance Italy offers a notable touchpoint in Parmigianino’s celebrated Portrait of Antea (c. 1530s), which helped keep the form visible. Today Antea sees modest use in Italy and parts of the Balkans (notably Croatia and Slovenia), often understood as a stylish variant of Anthea. Variants and cognates include Anthea (English), Antheia (Greek), and Anteia (classical). Common short forms are Tea and Thea. The name’s core meaning - “blossom, flower” - lends it associations of freshness, grace, and renewal.
