Anney is in Origin.
Anney is a modern English respelling of Annie, the familiar diminutive of Anne/Ann. These forms descend from Latin Anna and Greek Anna, ultimately from the Hebrew Channah, meaning "grace" or "favor." Through devotion to Saint Anne, mother of Mary, the name spread widely in medieval Christendom. It entered English via Old French Anne, and the cozy diminutive Annie flourished in the 18th-19th centuries in Britain and America, appearing in ballads and later popular culture; Anney preserves that affectionate tone while offering a distinctive look.
Anney appears occasionally in late-20th-century use across the English-speaking world as a stylistic alternative to Annie. Close variants include Anne, Ann, Anna, Annie, Anni, Anny, Annee, and Ana; related forms are Hannah, Hana, and Chana. Traditional pet forms in the Ann/Anne family include Nan and Nancy. Not to be confused with Irish Áine/Anya ("brightness"), which is unrelated.
