Pronunciation
/ˈæn.θə.ni/(American English) /ˈæn.tə.ni/(British English)
Meaning
English form of the
Roman family name
Antonius, which is of unknown Etruscan origin. The most notable member of the
Roman family was the general
Marcus Antonius (called
Mark Antony in
English), who for a period in the 1st century BC ruled the
Roman Empire jointly with
Augustus. When their relationship turned sour, he and his mistress
Cleopatra were attacked and forced to commit suicide, as related in
Shakespeare's tragedy
Antony and
Cleopatra (1606).The name became regularly used in the
Christian world due to the fame of
Saint Anthony the Great, a 4th-century Egyptian hermit who founded
Christian monasticism. Its popularity was reinforced in the Middle Ages by the 13th-century
Saint Anthony of Padua, the patron
Saint of Portugal. It has been commonly (but incorrectly) associated with Greek ἄνθος (anthos) meaning "flower", which resulted in the addition of the h to this spelling in the 17th century.
