Antohi

⭐⭐
proper noun (surname / anthroponym)

Definition

A widespread onomastic and patronymic variant of the surname Antohe, etymologically derived from the historical and sacred name Anton (originating from the Latin 'Antonius'). This name is a stable structural indicator of patriarchal descent, recorded with high frequency in administrative and ecclesiastical documents from the Moldavia region, defining an entire genealogical branch that preserved this specific final vocalic inflection of the eastern dialect.
