I love how jangly this name sounds. Harsh and beautiful.

In Polish, Anka carries a bit of a negative or cold meaning for Anna. Ania carries a warm and positive meaning.

Anka is a Swedish word for duck.
And it's pronounced Ang-Ka. The a is pronounced like when you say One. Wan. Without the w and n.

This was my grandma's name... I really love it. It sounds unique, even though it's not rare... A little bit dated, unfortunately.
