I'm Ash, derived from Ash tree and Ash groves, also an English translation of Ask, the first male in norse mythology. Also Yggdrasil was an Ash tree, and it is the tree that connects all cycles of life...I am lucky to have a pagan name.

well first of all Anthony is a roman/latin name which means priceless, or of Antonius which I believe is a place.
If you wanted to change it to runic script you would need to use A -Ansuz (god conciousness),N-Nauthiz (restriction, debt of karma, needfire),T-Teiwaz(spear or arror,law and order)H-Hagalaz, (past and negative experiences), O-Othila (Gift of fertility, inheritance, blood and soil) N-Nauthiz again, Y-Inguz (gestation, initiation, dark night of soul).

you could also do it using the ogham script - again there are books that give detail of what they mean.

if you look up the runes and find out which ones you are attracted to, you could make up your own name incorporating each of these. It means some research and time, but if you are serious about it that shouldnt mean any hardship.
I hope this is a little more helpful x

by the way Ash, Im sure you know your name using the ogham script/beth luis nion tree calander is NION - (for connection to the worlds/world tree)
