Antono / Anthony / Antonio / Antoine / Anton

Antono is a variant of the name Anthony, which derives from the Roman family name Antonius. The Antonius gens was a prominent patrician family in ancient Rome. While the exact etymology is debated, the most widely accepted theory links it to the Greek word 'anthos' meaning 'flower' or 'anthos' meaning 'priceless, inestimable'. The name gained widespread popularity through Saint Anthony the Great, an Egyptian Christian monk who was one of the founders of desert monasticism.

The name spread throughout Europe, evolving into various forms in different languages. Antono is specifically the Esperanto form of Anthony. Esperanto, an artificial language created in the late 19th century, aimed to be a universal second language, and many common names were adapted into its phonetic and grammatical structure. This form is primarily used by speakers of Esperanto.
