Anthony & Yeigo
Anthony, also spelled Antony, is a masculine given name derived from the Antonii, a Roman gens or clan that famously included Mark Antony (Marcus Antonius). The ultimate etymology of the name is unknown. Its popularity as a given name is largely due to the fame of Anthony the Great, an Egyptian hermit and saint who is regarded as the first monk. The later saint Anthony of Padua also contributed to its diffusion.
