Anthoney is one of the names that was brought to England in the wave of migration following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Anthoney family name comes from the Latin family name Antonius, which means "inestimable or worthy of praise." 1 Another source notes that it may have been derived from "the personal name; also a parish in Cornwall. Places called St. Antoine and Antoigni occur in Normandy. " 2 Early Origins of the Anthoney familyThe surname Anthoney was first found in Lincolnshire. "The name had become fairly popular in England in the 13th century, as having been borne by the great hermit of the 4th century. He was the patron saint of the swineherd.

| Anthoney migration to the United States | + |
To escape the uncertainty of the political and religious uncertainty found in England, many English families boarded ships at great expense to sail for the colonies held by Britain. The passages were expensive, though, and the boats were unsafe, overcrowded, and ridden with disease. Those who were hardy and lucky enough to make the passage intact were rewarded with land, opportunity, and social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families went on to be important contributors to the young nations of Canada and the United States where they settled. Anthoneys were some of the first of the immigrants to arrive in North America:
