Antion, of Latin origin, is an uncommon and unique given name for boys. It is derived from the Latin word 'Antonius,' which means 'priceless' or 'highly praiseworthy.' This name was popular during ancient Roman times and has been used throughout history by various notable figures, such as Emperor Antoninus Pius and Saint Anthony of Padua.
The name Antion has seen varying popularity over the years, with peaks in 1973 (15 births) and 1988 (12 births), but has generally been more common in the decades prior to 1990, averaging around 6-10 births per year during those years. Since then, its usage has decreased significantly, with no more than 8 births recorded in any given year between 1993 and 2010, totaling only 57 births in that period compared to the previous 114.
