Anthor is a rare modern given name with layered etymology. One proposed root is Greek anthos, “flower,” familiar from the combining form antho- in botanical terms and names like Anthia. Others read it as a deliberate blend with the Norse theonym Thor (Old Norse Þórr, “thunder”), aligning it with Germanic -thor/-tor elements found in medieval names.

Documented usage is sparse; the name surfaces in recent decades as a creative choice in contemporary naming, and it is sometimes conflated with South Asian Antor, from Bengali/Assamese/Hindi antar “inner, heart.” Variants and near-relations include Antor and Anthos; short forms such as Anth, Tor/Thor, or Anto may occur in practice. Depending on the etymology embraced, Anthor can carry the evocative senses of “flower,” “thunder,” or “inner heart.”
