Anniki is Scandinavian in Origin.
Anniki is a Finnic feminine given name, found chiefly in Estonia and Finland. It is a regional variant of Annikki and a cognate of Annika, all ultimately derived from Anna, from Hebrew Channah, meaning "grace" or "favor." In Finnish and Estonian, the -ki/-kki ending functions as a familiar or diminutive suffix, giving the name a light, affectionate tone.
Usage is attested from the early 20th century; in Finland the double-k form Annikki peaked in mid-century and the simplified Anniki appears in Estonia and as a modern spelling in Finland. Cultural awareness was reinforced by the Kalevala, where Annikki (with double k) is named as the smith Ilmarinen's quick-witted sister. Related forms include Annikki (Finnish), Annika (Nordic/German), Anika (international), Anneke (Dutch), Anniken (Norwegian), and Anna/Hanna. Common short forms are Anni and Anu.
