ArchivesANNA also a Germanic name?
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?

Anna's used in tons of languages
BtN lists the following cultures and languages in which Anna is used:
English, Italian, German, Dutch, Scandinavian, Finnish, Estonian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish, Russian, Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian, Icelandic, Catalan, Breton, Biblical.
Anna was also used in Anglo-Saxon times, though the only notable bearer we know of was male: King Anna of East Anglia (d. 953/954): http://snipurl.com/fw7s.
