Anthony Denis Maurice George de Worms was born on 4 January 1869. His father was George de Worms, 2nd Baron de Worms (1829–1902) and his mother, Louisa de Samuel. He had a brother, Percy de Worms (1873–1941) and a sister, Henrietta Emmy Louisa Amelia de Worms (1875-unknown). His paternal grandfather, Solomon Benedict de Worms (1801–1882), owned large plantations in Ceylon and was made a Hereditary Baron of the Austrian Empire by Franz Joseph I of Austria (1830–1916), and his paternal grandmother was Henrietta Samuel.

His great-uncles, who owned plantations in Ceylon with his grandfather, were Maurice Benedict de Worms (1805–1867) and Gabriel Benedict de Worms (1802–1881). His paternal uncle was Henry de Worms, 1st Baron Pirbright (1840–1903).
