Names That Mean Flowery

This unjustly neglected floral name is smart and crisp, with a touch of Athena, Anna, and Cynthia about it. It also has that stylish Greek mythological heritage: Anthea is an epithet of Hera, the Greek queen of the gods, and her name has been used as poetic symbol of spring. 
 
The pronunciation of Anthea varies slightly depending on language and location. Among English speakers, it's ANN-thee-uh, while it's Greek and in French, it's AHn-TAY-A.
 
Notable bearers include Anthea Disney, a high-powered business executive and distant relative of Walt, and Anthea Turner, a TV presenter.
