Meaning & origin
Anthoni is an uncommon variant of the classic name Anthony. While the standard spelling Anthony has long been a top-100 staple in the United States, Anthoni first appeared on Social Security records in 1964 and peaked in 2008, though it has been declining in use since 2007. In 2025, it ranked 8,910th, with roughly 1 in 213,510 boys receiving the name. The variant has never been concentrated in any particular state, reflecting its sporadic use nationwide. Its rarity makes it a distinctive choice for parents who appreciate the familiar sound of Anthony but want a less common spelling.
Anthoni is a spelling variant of Anthony, which derives from the Roman family name Antonius. The name's meaning is ultimately uncertain, possibly from Etruscan or Greek roots. Saint Anthony the Great, a 4th-century Egyptian hermit, popularized the name in Christian contexts. The spelling with 'th' emerged as a variant in English, influenced by Greek transliteration.
