Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno Anatol vychádza z gréckeho osobného mena Anatólios (Ἀνατόλιος), latinizovaného ako Anatolius. Súvisí s prídavným menom anatolios (ἀνατόλιος) „východný“ a s podstatným menom anatolé (ἀνατολή) „východ slnka; východ“. Význam mena možno vyjadriť ako „východný, pochádzajúci z východu“. Súvislosť s názvom Anatólia vyplýva zo spoločného gréckeho základu; neodôvodňuje výlučné stotožnenie významu mena s pôvodom z Malej Ázie.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Grécke osobné meno dokladá databáza Trismegistos, Anatolios; význam gréckeho prídavného mena uvádza LSJ, ἀνατόλιος. Slovenskú podobu a genitív Anatola zaznamenáva Slovník slovenského jazyka VI, heslo Anatol; ostatné pády vyplývajú zo skloňovania podľa vzoru chlap. Maďarskú podobu Anatol potvrdzuje slovensko-maďarský zoznam osobných mien. Anatolko je pravidelne utvorená slovenská zdrobnenina, jej bežné používanie však nebolo v dostupných zdrojoch overené. Podoba Anatole sa v angličtine používa ako prevzaté francúzske meno. Tvrdenie o zriedkavosti na Slovensku bolo vypustené pre chýbajúce frekvenčné údaje. Audit nie je stanoviskom JÚĽŠ SAV ani Milana Majtána.
