An%c5%bee

The name Anže is a Slovenian given name derived from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious, entering Slovenian through the Latin Iohannes and its subsequent Romance and Germanic adaptations. It functions as the distinctly Slovenian vernacular form of John, widely used in Slovenia as an independent given name rather than a diminutive. Related forms in other languages include Jan, Hans, Ivan, and Giovanni.
