History & Origin
Anthoney is a variant spelling of Anthony, the English form of the Roman gens name Antonius. That ancient name has no secure meaning; the 'flower' gloss often attached to Anthony comes from a later link to Greek anthos. Anthoney keeps every bit of Anthony's sense while spelling it closer to the American pronunciation.
Anthoney tracked the broad mid-century fashion for creative respellings, cresting around 1971 as Anthony itself was hugely popular. A boy given the Anthoney spelling then is in his fifties now. It has never rivaled the standard spelling and reads today as a personalized variant rather than a separate name.
