What is the meaning of the name Annecke ?

The baby name Annecke is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈanɛkə/ (AN-eh-kuh).

Annecke is German in Origin.

Annecke is a Low Countries and North German diminutive of Anne/Anna, built with the regional -ke ending common in Dutch, Frisian, and Low German pet forms. Ultimately it derives from Hebrew Channah (“grace; favor”), passing through Greek Anna and Latin Anna before entering Germanic vernaculars. The spelling with -cke reflects German orthography, while Anneke is the more prevalent Dutch form.

Records from the late medieval to early modern period show such -ke diminutives in northern coastal regions, and Annecke appears sporadically in German-speaking areas alongside Anneke in the Netherlands and Flanders. The name remains uncommon today, lending it a vintage, homely charm. Close variants and cognates include Anneke, Aneke, Anke, Annika, Anna, Anne, and Hannah; related Frisian forms include Anke and Anke- compounds. Short forms may be Anne or Anke. Meaning is consistently tied to “grace” and “favor.”
