Anthony

Anthony is a boy's name of English and Roman origins. Derived from the Roman family name Antonius, Anthony may translate to "highly praiseworthy," perfectly describing the ways your child's kind deeds and impressive feats will delight everyone they meet! While "highly praiseworthy" is Anthony's only known definition, some sources suggest that the name's true meaning has been lost to time. It's fitting, then, that Anthony was once borne by Saint Anthony of Padua, the patron saint of mislaid items. If you want to give your Anthony a nickname, you'll have plenty of options in diminutives like Ant, Anton, and Tony. Or maybe you'll follow in the footsteps of The Bump community member Chrissymarie98 and "just stick with Anthony."
