Anna: Girls Baby Name Meaning

Anna Baby Name

THE NAME ANNA MEANS ‘FAVOR’, ‘GRACE’, OR ‘BEAUTIFUL’. 

Anna derives from the Latin form of the Greek: ‘Aννα and the Hebrew name Hannah (Ḥannāh‎), meaning ‘favor’, grace’ or ‘beautiful’. Anna is the Latin form of Hannah, a Hebrew name that derived from root chanan, meaning ‘grace’.

European Christians embraced the name for its associations with the Virgin Mary’s mother, Saint Anna—known in English as Saint Anne.

Anna is in wide use in countries across the world as are its variants Anne, originally a French version of the name, though in use in English speaking countries for hundreds of years, and Ann, which was originally the English spelling.

Saint Anne is traditionally the name of the mother of the Virgin Mary, which accounts for its wide use and popularity among Christians. The name has also been used for numerous saints and queens

The name was borne by several Russian royals, including an 18th-century empress of Russia. It is also the name of the main character in Leo Tolstoy’s novel Anna Karenina (1877), about a married aristocrat who begins an ultimately tragic relationship with Count Vronsky.
