Antonio-José

Antonio-José is a compound name, combining two very popular names of Latin and Hebrew origin. Antonio is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Antonius, an ancient Roman family name of uncertain Etruscan origin, though often associated with the Greek 'anthos' (flower) or 'anti' (in return, in opposition). José is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Joseph, derived from the Hebrew name Yosef, meaning 'He will add' or 'God will add'. The combination of these two names is common in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking cultures, often given to honor multiple family members or saints.
