Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Anton je slovenská podoba latinského rímskeho rodového mena Antonius (gens Antonia). Latinský základ je doložený, no jeho hlbšia etymológia a pôvodný význam zostávajú neisté. Predpokladá sa etruský pôvod. Tradičný výklad „popredný, vynikajúci“, uvádzaný aj v slovenskej onomastickej literatúre, nemožno pokladať za bezpečne preukázaný. Ani spájanie s gréckym antiōn a významom „čeliaci protivníkovi“ nie je spoľahlivo doložené.
