I was just illustrating that names  are often quite specific to certain areas :)
I certainly didn’t mean that yours was Wexford. I perhaps didn’t explain it properly. Apologies.

You would write it as Anto - that is what it says and presumably what it was.
If you search for Catholic records, for example, Anto seems to be predominantly in Tipperary.
