Anatolie

Anatolie is a masculine given name, primarily used in Romanian and occasionally in French-speaking regions. It is derived from the Greek name Anatolios (Ανατόλιος), meaning "from the East" or "eastern". The name's connection to the East stems from the Greek word anatole (ἀνατολή), referring to the sunrise or the region where the sun rises. As such, the name often carries connotations of new beginnings, dawn, or the Orient.

The name Anatolie is the equivalent of the name Anatolius in other languages. It has seen historical usage, particularly in Eastern European countries, and remains a less common but recognized name in modern times. It is frequently seen as a more formal or traditional given name. Variations in spelling may exist depending on the language and cultural context.
