Annie

חַנָּה

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Biblical English

• Annie traces its roots all the way back to the biblical Channah, the woman whose tearful, heartfelt prayer for a child became one of the most powerful moments in scripture. From Channah came Hannah, then Anna, and eventually the playful, casual Annie. It is a name that has traveled a long road from ancient prayer to modern charm, picking up warmth at every stop.

  Pure sunshine in a name — approachable, warm, and impossible not to smile at. The beloved musical "Annie" gave it an irresistible plucky spirit that generations have grown up singing along to. It bridges the biblical gravitas of Hannah with a breezy, girl-next-door energy that never goes out of style — vintage sweetness with Torah roots hiding in plain sight.
