Anthony
- A great name for all nationalities
- this one is pretty common but I have always liked it . It sounds really masculine.
- I like how it's Italian, yet doesn't sound "too" foreign in America. It sounds like a name for a tall, dark, handsome man, yet is cute for a little boy.
- Anthony Charles:This is my Italian boyfriend's name, and if we ever get married and have a son, this will be his name also :)
This name is derived from the Roman family name Antonius, which is of uncertain origin. In the 17th century, it mistakenly became associated with the Greek word anthos, meaning "flower." Until then, it was usually spelled Antony. In England, this name is generally prounced like Antony, regardless of the "h." In the USA, the "th" is pronounced.
