What is the meaning of the name Antheah ?

Antheah is Greek in Origin.

Antheah is a modern English elaboration of Anthea, ultimately from Greek Antheia (Ἀνθεία), derived from anthos, “flower” or “blossom.” In Greek myth, Antheia is a floral epithet linked to Hera and Aphrodite, and in some traditions a name for one of the Charites (Graces), so the name carries imagery of spring, beauty, and flourishing. The final -h is a contemporary stylistic flourish - parallel to Sarah or Hannah - without changing pronunciation or sense.

Anthea entered English use through 17th‑century pastoral verse (notably Robert Herrick’s poems) and later enjoyed modest popularity in Britain, while remaining rare in North America. In modern Greek, related forms include Anthi (Ανθή, “in bloom”). Variants and cognates: Anthea, Antheia, Anthia, Anthi; occasional spellings with a final -h appear. Nicknames and diminutives include Thea, Anthi, Annie, and Antha. Overall meaning: “flower,” “blossom,” or “blooming.”
