Anthoney is English in Origin.
Anthoney is an uncommon English respelling of Anthony/Antony, rooted in the Roman family name Antonius, probably of Etruscan origin and thus etymologically uncertain. It is often interpreted as "priceless" or "of inestimable worth." The intrusive h in Anthony arose in early modern English through association with Greek anthos "flower," a learned folk etymology; Anthoney carries that h while using -oney to mirror common English pronunciation.
Use of the broader Anthony family spread across Christendom via saints such as Anthony the Great (3rd-4th c.) and Anthony of Padua (13th c.), keeping the name in steady circulation in Britain and beyond, with US peaks in the late twentieth century. International variants include Antony, Anthonie, Anton, Antonio, Antoni, Antoine, Antonin, Antonios, and Antal; diminutives include Tony, Toni, Ant, and Tonio. Feminine counterparts: Antonia, Antonella, Antoinette.
