Anfernee is a modern phonetic variation of Anthony, which is derived from the Roman family name Antonius. While Anthony is often associated with the Greek word 'anthos' meaning flower, the name Anfernee gained significant cultural prominence in the 1990s due to American basketball star Anfernee 'Penny' Hardaway.
