What is the meaning of the name Anthoni ?

The baby name Anthoni is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /ænˈtoʊni/; respelling: an-TOH-nee.

Anthoni is Latin in Origin.

Anthoni is a modern variant of Anthony/Antoni, ultimately from Latin Antonius, a Roman family name of uncertain meaning; later folk etymology associated the h with Greek anthos “flower,” though that link is inaccurate. Many contemporary name guides gloss it as “priceless, of inestimable worth.” The form Anthoni blends the English Anthony’s h with the -i ending of Slavic/Romance Antoni, and appears in Scandinavia and the Low Countries as well as in English-speaking contexts as a distinctive spelling.

The name spread across Europe through veneration of St. Anthony the Great (4th c.) and St. Anthony of Padua (13th c.), cementing its popularity from the Middle Ages onward. Related forms include Anthony, Antony, Antoni, Antonio, Antoine, Anton, Antonius, Anthon, and Dutch Antoon; diminutives Tony and Toni are common. Feminine counterparts are Antonia and Antonella. Pronunciation typically mirrors Anthony/Antoni in local usage.
