Anna f
Latinate variant of ANNE (SEE Anne), in common use as a given name in English, Gaelic, Italian, German, Dutch, Scandinavian languages, and Slavonic languages. Among people with a classical education, it has from time to time been associated with Virgil's Aeneid, where it is borne by the sister of Dido, Queen of Carthage. This Phoenician name may ultimately be of Semitic origin, and thus cognate with the biblical Anne. However, the connection, if it exists, is indirect rather than direct.
Cognate: Spanish: Ana.
