Anneka

Anneka is a Dutch and Scandinavian diminutive form of Anna, which derives from the Hebrew name Channah, meaning grace or favor. The name spread widely through the Latin form Anna and its biblical associations with the mother of the Virgin Mary. Anneka gained broader international recognition partly through the Swedish actress Anneka di Lorenzo and the British television personality Anneka Rice. Related forms include Annika, Anneke, and the Hebrew source name Hannah.
