Antonius is Latin in Origin.
Antonius is the Latin nomen of a prominent Roman clan (gens Antonius), borne by figures such as the statesman and general Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony). Its etymology is uncertain, likely of Etruscan origin, but the name moved from a strictly hereditary surname in the Republic to a widespread personal name as Latin evolved. During late antiquity and the Middle Ages it was propelled across Christendom by the cults of St. Anthony the Great and St. Anthony of Padua, anchoring its use in monastic and lay circles alike.
From Antonius arise many forms: Anthony (English), Antoine (French), Antonio (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Antoni (Polish, Catalan), Anton (Germanic and Slavic), Antanas (Lithuanian), Antonis (Greek), Antun (Croatian), with diminutives Tony, Toni, Toño, Anto, Tõnis. Feminine counterparts include Antonia and Antonina. Its meaning remains debated; later tradition glosses it as “priceless” and folk-etymology links it to Greek anthos “flower.”
