The name was popularized in ancient Rome, particularly through the famous Roman general and politician Marcus Antonius, known in English as Mark Antony, who lived in the 1st century BCE.
The transition of the name into English occurred through the influence of the Latin language during the Roman occupation of Britain and later through the Norman Conquest, where it was adopted into Old French as 'Antoine' before becoming 'Anthony' in Middle English. Throughout history, the name has been borne by numerous saints, the most notable being Saint Anthony of Padua, a 13th-century Franciscan friar known for his preaching and miracles.
