Anny

Anny is a French feminine name functioning as a variant of Anne, which derives from the Hebrew name Channah, meaning grace or favour. Anne itself entered French and broader European use through Latin Anna and Greek Anna, carried largely by the biblical figure of Hannah and later popularized by Saint Anne, the traditional mother of the Virgin Mary. Anny developed as an informal or diminutive spelling within French-speaking traditions. Related forms include Anne, Anna, Annie, and Annette.
