Meaning & origin
Annina entered U.S. birth records in 1951 but has never been common. Its peak usage so far came in 2024, and it has been rising steadily since 2021, reflecting growing interest in delicate, international diminutives. The name has not yet recorded any top states, but its gentle sound and cross-cultural appeal make it an under-the-radar choice. As a diminutive of the classic Anna, Annina offers a fresh yet familiar option for parents seeking a name with Italian or Swiss German flair.
Annina is a diminutive of Anna, which derives from the Hebrew name Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor.' It is used in Italian-speaking regions and in Swiss German contexts as an affectionate short form. The name has been consistently used since the mid-20th century, especially in Switzerland and northern Italy.
