Annica

Annica is a Scandinavian diminutive form of Anna, which derives from the Hebrew name Hannah, meaning grace or favor. It developed as a regional pet form particularly in Sweden and Finland, where short, doubled diminutive endings became common in vernacular naming traditions. The name shares its heritage with closely related forms such as Anneka, Annika, and Anika, all of which trace back to the same Hebrew root through Latin and Greek intermediary forms.
