ArchivesRe: Anthony
in reply to a message by Anneza, nsi
From this site:
"Meaning & History
English form of the Roman family name Antonius, which is of unknown Etruscan origin.
...
It has been commonly (but incorrectly) associated with Greek ανθος (anthos) "flower", which resulted in the addition of the h to this spelling in the 17th century."
