Anthony

"Of inestimable worth" — a name of Roman grandeur, passionate love, and artistic fire

Anthony is the English form of the Roman Antonius, whose meaning is uncertain but associated with 'priceless' or 'of inestimable worth'. Mark Antony — Caesar's ally and Cleopatra's great love — made the name synonymous with passionate nobility. Saint Anthony of Padua is one of Catholicism's most beloved saints, patron of lost things and the poor. Anthony Bourdain made food adventurous; Anthony Hopkins made cinema terrifying and profound. The name has a warm Roman richness that works equally well as Tony or Anthony.
