Every Family name/Surname basically means "someone's son" or "he belongs to this family"

Anton is a given name in many European languages. Like the English name Anthony, it is descended from the Roman name Antonius.
Marcus Antonius claimed that the gens was descended from Anton, a son of Heracles. He harnessed lions to his chariot to commemorate his descent from this hero; and many of his coins bear a lion for the same reason.

Anton - Lion Wrestler.
