Nann is English in Origin.
Nann is a diminutive and spelling variant of Ann/Anne/Anna, ultimately from Hebrew Channah, “grace; favor,” via Latin Anna and French Anne. In Middle and Early Modern English, Nan/Nanne/Nann functioned as affectionate short forms for Ann and sometimes for names ending in -anna or -hanna, appearing in parish records in Britain and later colonial America. The double‑n spelling reflects historical orthographic variation and also surfaces in Germanic areas as a pet form of Anna or Johanna.
Related forms include Nan, Nannie/Nanny, Nanni, Nanna, and Nancy (a hypochoristic extension of Nan), alongside the formal bases Ann/Anne/Anna; possible nicknames are Nan and Nani. In Nordic contexts it can overlap with Nanna, Baldr’s wife in Norse myth, though that name has a separate etymology. The meaning attached to Nann follows Anna: “grace” or “favor.” Today it is rare and vintage-leaning, usable either independently or as a nickname.
