Annica
Annica Origin and Meaning
Annica is a feminine name of Swedish and Finnish origin, representing a variant of Ann or Anna. These names ultimately derive from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor.' Annica combines the timeless quality of its root name with a distinctive Nordic flair through its ending. While relatively common in Scandinavian countries, particularly Sweden, it remains uncommon in English-speaking regions, offering a unique option that's still easy to pronounce. The double 'n' gives it a soft, melodic quality that differentiates it from similar variants like Anika or Annika. The name carries connotations of elegance and classic femininity while maintaining a fresh, somewhat exotic appeal for those outside Nordic cultures. Annica's bearer inherits both ancient roots and regional distinction.
