A multitude of prestigious family names, such as the surname Anthes, were formed in the lands which became the modern state of
Saxony. In the medieval era,
Germany was fragmented and inhabited by numerous Barbarian tribes, who fought amongst themselves for control of the land. The ancient dukedom of
Saxony derived its name from the Germanic tribe name the
Saxons who inhabited the territory after the fall of the Roman Empire.
Early Origins of the Anthes family
The surname Anthes was first found in
Saxony, where the name became noted for its many branches with the region, each house acquiring a status and influence which was envied by the princes of the region. In their later history the name became a power unto themselves and were elevated to the ranks of nobility as they grew into this most influential family. The name is associated with Saint Anthony (Antonius,) the founder of monasticism and the patron saint of farmers. Although primarily a first name, Anton also became a family name as it gained popularity in the Middle Ages.
