What does the name Anthoney mean?
Anthoney is a spelling of Anthony, pronounced the same way, so it shares Anthony's meaning and origin.
Anthony comes from Antonius, a Roman family name whose meaning is unknown; DMNES says it may be Etruscan. The 'h' in the English spelling came from a false link with Greek anthos, 'flower', which Wiktionary records as an influence. A 4th-century Egyptian saint bore it and gave his name to several medieval religious orders, and it has been in regular English use since the Middle Ages.
Antōnius (Latin, “Roman gens name”)ἄνθος (Ancient Greek, “flower (influence on spelling only)”)
