Etymology of ANTONY

The name "Antony" has an ancient Roman origin and is derived from the Latin name "Antonius". It is believed to have originated from an Etruscan or Sabine origin before being adopted by the Romans. The name "Antonius" itself is thought to be derived from the Etruscan word "antuna", meaning "priceless" or "invaluable", which was later assimilated into Latin. As a personal name, "Antony" became popular in Rome due to its association with the prominent Roman family of Antonius. It gained further prominence later through famous historical figures such as Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony), the Roman politician and general who was a loyal supporter of Julius Caesar and fought against Octavian (later known as Augustus).
