What is the meaning of the name Nansi ?

The baby name Nansi is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced {'english': '/ˈnænsi/', 'welsh': '/ˈnanʃi/'}.

Nansi is Welsh in Origin.

Nansi is the Welsh and international variant of Nancy, a name that began as a medieval English pet form of Ann/Anne. The route runs from Hebrew Channah (“grace; favor”) via Greek and Latin Anna, then to English Ann, with Nan as a common diminutive; the -cy/-sie ending formed Nancy, and Welsh spelling yields Nansi. As with Nancy, the core meaning carried by Nansi is “grace” or “favor.”

Used in Wales since at least the 19th century, Nansi also appears where Nancy is transliterated from Cyrillic (Нанси) and as a modern respelling in English-speaking countries. The name rose with Nancy’s 18th–20th century popularity in Britain and North America and retains a friendly, vintage feel. Variants and related forms include Nancy, Nancie, Nancey, Nan, Nance, Nannie, and the root names Ann, Anne, Anna, Hannah, Ana, Annie, and Anya.
