Antohie
Definition
A rare and archaic onomastic form of the surname Antohe, which preserves a conservative phonetic structure close to old Philocalic or Greek adaptations (such as 'Antohios' or its ecclesiastical derivatives). This name functions as a patronymic indicating a kinship bond with a common ancestor, being a precious lexical relic within the Romanian anthroponymic landscape, encountered isolated in old property deeds and historical charters.
