Anthony Jr., often stylized as Anthony Jr., is an uncommon given name of Latin origin, meaning 'priceless, high in value.' It's a derivative of the Roman family name Antonius, which was borne by several early emperors, including Mark Antony, a prominent figure in ancient Rome. The junior suffix '-jr' is appended to indicate that the person bears the same name as their father. This naming convention is common in some cultures and families to distinguish between generations sharing the same given name.
"The name Anthony Jr. experienced a dip in popularity between 2002 and 2007, with eight babies named in the former year compared to just six in the latter."
