The name does not mean flower. It is commonly associated with the greek word anthos which does mean flower but this association is incorrect and is irrelevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.15.227.53 (talk) 23:47, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Anthony actually means "worthy of praise" or "priceless" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.15.227.53 (talk) 23:52, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It does not mean priceless. Its meaning is unknown because it comes from the undiscovered, and apparently not Indo-European, Etruscan language, as it correctly states in the main article. So why off to the right in the box does it have this baby-book garbage about the name's meaning being "priceless"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.173.100.24 (talk) 01:46, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If its meaning is unknown, the article should state so, or did I miss something? At the moment, the space given to the incorrect anthos derivation might lead a a casual reader to take this as the true meaning. Will fix from my desktop when I get a round tuit, esp if I can source the deriv from Etruscan. As you'll see from my sig I have a personal interest in this -- hope that doesn't disqualify me ;-) --D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 09:43, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
