Antony

Antony means "Roman name of disputed meaning" and comes from Roman, giving it real etymological depth as a boy's name. It is currently on the rise, with its biggest decade yet in the 2000s. As things stand now, it is a distinctive, less common pick. It has appeared in U.S. birth records in nearly every decade since 1900, a genuinely long run.
