What is the meaning of the name Anto ?

The baby name Anto is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced en-US: /ˈæn.toʊ/,hr/si/it: /ˈan.to/,generic IPA: /ˈan.to/.

Anto is in Origin.

Anto is a short form and independent given name stemming from the Roman family name Antonius via the wide Anthony/Anton/Antonio tradition. It appears as a standalone name among South Slavs (especially Croatians and Bosnian Croats), in Estonia, and in parts of Italy (often written Antò). In Indian Christian communities, particularly in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, Anto serves as a common clipped form of Antony/Anthony. The name’s diffusion reflects the renown of Saint Anthony the Great and Saint Anthony of Padua, which helped spread Antonius-forms across Europe and into Asia.

The ultimate meaning of Antonius is uncertain and likely pre-Latin (Etruscan); modern name lore sometimes glosses it as “priceless” or links it by folk etymology to Greek anthos “flower.” Related variants include Anton, Anthony, Antony, Antonio/António, Antón, Antal (Hungarian), Antti (Finnish), Ante and Antun (Croatian), with feminine counterparts Antonia and Antonija. Anto also functions as a unisex nickname in some contexts.
