Priceless one or highly praiseworthy
Anthonio is a variant of the Roman family name Antonius. While its exact etymology is debated, it is traditionally associated with being beyond praise or value. The 'h' is a later addition influenced by the Greek word 'anthos', meaning flower, though this is not the original root.
