    • Nance
      • Description:

        Nance is a feminine name with roots as both a medieval diminutive of Ann/Anne and as an English surname. The name Anne derives from Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor.' As a given name, Nance was more common in medieval and early modern periods, particularly in Cornwall, England, where it also developed as a surname. The name experienced modest popularity in the early 20th century in America but has since become quite rare as a first name. Nance carries a vintage, simple charm while maintaining connections to the more traditional Ann/Anne family of names. It's sometimes seen as a nickname for Nancy, which itself originated as a diminutive of Ann. Today, Nance might appeal to parents seeking a short, distinctive name with historical roots and a connection to English heritage.
