Meaning & origin

Annick first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1964, though it has never entered the top 1000. Its highest recorded usage occurred in 1990, after which it has maintained a stable but minimal presence. The name is essentially absent from most top-state lists, reflecting its rarity outside of families with Breton or French heritage. As a diminutive of Anna, Annick carries the same timeless meaning of 'grace' without ever having peaked in mainstream popularity.

Annick is a diminutive of Anna, ultimately from Hebrew Channah meaning 'grace' or 'favor'. It emerged as a Breton form of Ann, particularly common in Brittany, a region in northwestern France. The name gained moderate usage in France and French-speaking areas throughout the 20th century.
