Anna is the Latin and Greek form of the Hebrew Hannah — from Channah (חַנָּה), meaning "grace" or "favour." In the New Testament Anna is a prophetess who recognises the infant Jesus in the temple.
Anna is one of the most widely used girl names in the world — found in some form (Anna, Ann, Anne, Anya, Annie) in nearly every European language. Today it sits in the U.S. top 60 and is consistently in the top 5 in many European countries.
Anna reduces to seven — the number of depth, reflection, and quiet wisdom.
