Help[Facts] Re: Anthony???
in reply to a message by Egyptian Princess
Not quite. People didn't add the H to make Antony mean "flower" - they assumed that the H should have been there all the time. So, they helpfully put it back to correct a mistake.
Except that it wasn't a mistake ... Antony is such an ancient name, and Etruscan is such a mysterious language, that we simply don't know what it actually did mean. Now, its meaning is: Nice name that my parents chose for me with love.

If Anthony means priceless, so does Tonya! (Just as Michael and Michaela share a meaning.) However, since nobody knows what Anthony originally meant, it hardly matters. People are at liberty to make guesses about the meaning, if that helps them to pass the time, but until they can provide convincing evidence, there is no reason for us to take them seriously.
