Origin
Meaning and history of Michealanthony
The given name Michealanthony is a relatively modern composite name, blending the more traditional names Michael and Anthony. Its origins can be traced back to the early Christian era, with both component names having biblical roots.
The name Michael derives from the Hebrew name Mikhael, meaning "who is like God?" It was one of the principal archangels in the Bible and has been a popular name among Christians since ancient times. The earliest recorded use of the name Michael dates back to the 5th century BCE, found in the Book of Daniel in the Hebrew Bible.
Anthony, on the other hand, finds its roots in the Roman family name Antonius, derived from the Latin phrase "anni tone" meaning "inestimable year." It gained popularity as a Christian name due to its association with the 3rd-century Egyptian monk, Saint Anthony the Great, who is regarded as the founder of Christian monasticism.
While the combined form Michealanthony is not found in ancient texts or religious scriptures, it is a modern invention, likely inspired by the enduring popularity of both Michael and Anthony as given names throughout history.

What does the SSA popularity chart show?

Is Michealanthony still being used today?

Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Michealanthony can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
