Aniko is Latin in Origin.
Anikó is a Hungarian feminine name, pronounced AH-nee-koh, formed as an affectionate diminutive of Anna with the Hungarian hypocoristic ending -kó. Through Anna, it ultimately derives from the Hebrew Hannah/Channah, meaning “grace” or “favor.” While used informally earlier, Anikó became established as an independent given name in Hungary during the 20th century. Today it feels classic yet slightly vintage, remaining widely recognized across Hungarian-speaking communities, with the unaccented Aniko common in international records.
Variants and related forms include Ani (nickname), Anikó/Aniko (orthographic variants), and a broad family of Anna-based names across languages: Annika (Scandinavian), Anica/Anika (Slavic), Ania (Polish), Anya (Russian), and Anushka (East Slavic/South Asian use). All retain the core meaning of “grace.” The name’s gentle sound and familiar roots give it a warm, approachable character while maintaining strong cultural ties to Hungarian naming traditions.
