Linguistic explanation and meaning

An ancient Roman family name denoting someone of the Antonius clan, of uncertain original meaning.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno pochádza z latinského rodového mena Antonius (nomen gentile), ktoré označovalo príslušníka rímskeho rodu Antoniovcov (gens Antonia). Jeho hlbší pôvod sa pokladá za pravdepodobne etruský, no pôvodný význam nie je známy. Spájanie s gréckym slovom ánthos (kvet) je neskoršia ľudová etymológia bez presvedčivého jazykového základu.
