Meaning & History

Derived from the Greek noun ἀντήνωρ (antenor) meaning "instead of a man", which consists of Greek ἀντί (anti) meaning "against" as well as "instead of" and "compared to, like" combined with the Greek noun ἀνήρ (aner) meaning "man".

Also compare the Greek name Antandros, which is closely related and essentially means the same.

This name was borne by an Athenian sculptor from the 6th century BC. In Greek mythology, Antenor is a counselor of king Priam of Troy during the Trojan War.
