Priceless one or highly praiseworthy
Derived from the Roman family name Antonius, its exact etymology is unknown but likely of Etruscan origin. It became associated with the Greek word 'anthos' meaning flower, though this is a folk etymology. In the English-speaking world, the spelling without the 'h' is the traditional form used by Shakespeare.
