A biblical name, it is derived from the word 'channah' with the meaning grace, favor. Anna (Latin and Old Greek) was originally the Greek or Latin form of Channah (Hebrew) or Hannah. In the Old Testament of the Bible, Hannah was the mother of the prophet Samuel.
Alternately, Nanna is considered a Scandinavian name, from the Old Norse ânanÃ¾â meaning âdaringâ (perhaps related to Old English neÃ°an, and the ancient Germanic nendan to risk, venture). In Norse mythology, Nanna was a beautiful Scandinavian goddess and the wife of Balder (son of Odin and Frigg).ne of the reasons Americans and other English-speakers donât use the name Nanna is because itâs too closely related to our words ânannyâ and ânanaâ which we borrowed from the Greek word ânannaâ meaning âauntâ. From this perspective, the name probably feels to âgrandmotherlyâ for the average U.S. parent.
