Description:
Annikki is a feminine Finnish name with deep cultural roots in Finnish mythology and folklore.

In Finland, the name carries cultural significance while maintaining connections to nature and traditional Finnish values. Annikki enjoyed modest popularity in Finland throughout the 20th century, though it's considered somewhat traditional today. Outside Finland, the name remains quite rare, offering a distinctive choice with authentic Nordic heritage. Its melodic sound, with the characteristic Finnish double consonants, gives it a rhythmic quality typical of Finnish naming traditions, while its mythological connections add depth and cultural resonance.
