Variant of Anne , itself a variant of Anna . First attested in the 15th century . The Christian name tradition ultimately continues Latin Anna , from Ancient Greek Ἄννα ( Ánna ) , from Biblical Hebrew Biblical Hebrew חַנָּה ( Ḥannāh , “ grace, favour ” ) , from חָנַן ( ḥānan , “ to be gracious, show favour ” ) . Doublet of Hannah ( “ female given name ” ) .
The Biblical Hebrew name חַנָּה ( Ḥannāh ) is borne in the Hebrew Bible by Hannah , the mother of Samuel. Its Greek form Ἄννα ( Ánna ) occurs in the New Testament as the name of Anna the Prophetess , and the name tradition subsequently became widespread in Christian Europe.
Compare Danish Ane ( “ female given name ” ) .
Used as a short form of female given names ending in -ane , for example Kristiane . Because several different source names can give rise to this short form, this use does not have a single deeper etymological chain.
Borrowed from English Anne and French Anne . Doublet of Ana and Hanna .
Inherited from Ottoman Turkish عنه ( Ane ) .
