Anni is a diminutive form of Anna, which originates from the Hebrew name Hannah. It carries the timeless meaning of favor or grace and is particularly popular in German, Finnish, and Estonian cultures. While rare in the United States, it offers a fresh, European alternative to the more common Annie.
