Subject: ANNA also a Germanic name?
Author: Andy ;—)   (guest, 84.165.54.67)

In a book on Germanic names I found ANNA as the feminine form of ANNO (from (Arnold). It also said that it was not popular until the Hebrew/Greek/Latin name ANNA conquered central Europe in the 15th cent.
Can anybody confirm this?
