Meaning & Story
Anton is the Germanic and Slavic form of Anthony, a Roman family name of uncertain etymology — possibly from Etruscan roots. It has a clean, slightly austere Central European character that ages exceptionally well.
Anton has a quiet authority that distinguishes it from the more common Anthony or Antonio. There's a Central European elegance to it — think Chekhov, think Dvorak, think the great Austro-Hungarian tradition of understated excellence. It suits a dog with a calm, intelligent presence who doesn't need to perform for approval. For the pet who simply is, completely and contentedly, himself.
