Anneka is a Dutch and Scandinavian diminutive of Anna, which derives from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning grace or favor. The name gained broader international recognition through the British television presenter Anneka Rice, who brought it into wider English-speaking awareness during the 1980s and 1990s. Related forms include Annika, Annika, and Anika, all of which share the same Hebraic root through the Latin and Greek Anna.
