Anthia is Greek in Origin.
Anthia is a feminine Greek name from anthos “flower, blossom,” with the feminine suffix -ia, conveying “blooming,” “flowery,” and “in full blossom.” In Greek myth, the related Antheia/Anthea was an epithet of Hera and Aphrodite and a name for minor floral deities, reinforcing links to springtime.
As a personal name, Anthia appears in modern Greek and entered English naming in the 18th–19th centuries amid classical revivals and botanical fashions. It remains uncommon in the Anglophone world, a rarer alternative to Anthea. Variants and cognates include Antheia (classical), Anthea (English), Anthi and Anthoula (Greek), plus pet forms Thia, Thea, or Annie. All forms share the floral root and a graceful, nature-forward meaning. The name aligns with contemporary nature-leaning trends while retaining classical polish. Usage clusters appear in Greece, Cyprus, and among diaspora communities.
