Anthym

A less floral form of Anthimos, Antim is a Bulgarian and Romanian variation of the Greek name. Derived from the element anthos, meaning "flower, blossom", this variant feels closer to Artem or Anton and may therefore feel more practical for every day usage.
 
Borne by the 17th century saint, Anthim the Iberian (known for both his language skills and founding on the first Georgian printing press), he gives his name to a Rugby Cup, contested whenever Romania and Georgia play against each other.
 
The name is also used in India, possibly as a form of Anthony or the Sanskrit antima meaning "last, final", often using in phrases such as "at last I've succeeded".

Antim

Antimo

Antinio

Antino

Sometimes written as Antinoos, this name was borne by a lover of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd Century. After his early death, the emperor had him venerated and worshipped as a god. 
 
Literally translating to "against the mind" or "against thought" and interpreted as meaning "opposite in character" or "resistant", the name appears in Greek mythology, worn by a particularly violent and deceitful suitor of Penelope, wife of Odysseus. Played by Robert Pattinson in the 2026 movie adaptation of Homer's Odyssey, this mythological choice has yet to appear in the US stats.
