History & Origin

Leanthony is a blended given name that fits the fashionable Le- opening onto Anthony. Anthony itself goes back to the Roman Antonius, a family name of ancient and debated origin, often tied by later tradition to the Greek word for 'flower.' Built rather than inherited, Leanthony belongs to a creative American naming tradition and is treated here with that respect.

Leanthony was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year at its peak in the late nineteen-eighties, and it appeared only sparsely on either side. A boy named Leanthony then is in his late thirties today.

Did you know? Leanthony sits in a family of Le- blended names, alongside Leandre and Leron, that African-American families shaped through the later twentieth century.
