ANTHONY: a baptismal name and surname of England, Wales and
Ireland, Ant (h) oine of France, Anthony and
Ant (h) oine of the Channel Islands, from the Latin
personal name Antonius, of unknown origin, the name
of many saints.Withycombe comments on the spelling
and pronuncation: "The intrusive h in the spelling
Anthony was a later development, and seems not to
appear before the late 16th century. It may have
been the result of false etymologizing, for Camden
(1605) derives the name from Greek anthos (flower).
The h is, of course, silent, but there is some
danger nowadays of a spelling pronuncation (already
in use in USA), and the older spelling is to be
preferred."(Reaney, Withycombe, Turk). Guppy found
Anthony mostly in South Wales, and in smaller number
in Norfolk, Derbyshire and Devon; McLysaght in
Waterford since the 17th century.
