Anthe Origin and Meaning

Anthe is a feminine name with Greek origins, derived from the word 'anthos' meaning 'flower' or 'blossom.' In Greek mythology, Anthe was one of the Alkyonides, daughters of the giant Alkyoneus. This delicate and poetic name carries connotations of natural beauty and grace. Despite its classical heritage, Anthe remains quite rare in modern usage, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet historically rich name.
