Anne
Anne ♀ English form (via Old French, Latin, and Greek) of the Hebrew girl's name
Hanna ‘He (God) has favoured me (i.e. with a child)’. This is the name borne in the Bible by the mother of Samuel (see
Hannah), and according to non-biblical tradition also by the mother of the Virgin Mary. It is the widespread folk cult of the latter that has led to the great popularity of the name in various forms throughout Europe. The simplified form
Ann was much more common in the 19th century but the form with final
-e grew in popularity during the 20th century, partly perhaps due to L. M. Montgomery's story
Anne of Green Gables (1908), and partly due to Princess Anne (b. 1950). See also
Anna.
