About Nanna
Nanna is a name from Norse mythology that is among the Top 30 names in contemporary Denmark. Popular in Norway in the 19th century, Nanna may also be considered a short form of a range of names, from Anna to Johanna to Marianne. As widespread as it is in Scandinavia, though, it's hard to imagine Nanna making a mark as a girl's name in modern day America, given its use as a name for grandmothers.
Pronounced NAHN-uh.
As of October 2026, Nanna ranked #15005 in US births in 1994 SSA, peaked at #997 in 1882.
