Anne 1

Also Guernésiais: http://dbooks.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/books/PDFs/590676737.pdf

While Anne (1) as a given first name is usually feminine, it is also used as both a masculine given first name and middle name, especially among Christians (similarly to how the given names Anna, Maria, and Marie are also used as both masculine given first names and middle names, often among Christians). And no, I am not confusing this name with Anne (2).

In 2018, 51 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Anne who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 228th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.

It is also used in Greek, which is known by St. Anne (Αγίας Άννης/Agias Annis) (pronunciation: AH-nee) which is a variant of Anna (Άννα). It is not as common as Anna in Greece.

You could use it to honor Anne Frank, who deserves to be honored.

Anne was the most common name in Norway in the 1900s. It ranked at #6 in 1880, #4 in 1885 (behind Anna, Marie, Ingeborg and Inga), #8 in 1890, #10 in 1930, #5 in 1935 (behind Bjørg, Astrid, Inger and Gerd), #1 in 1945, 1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, and 1970. In 1975 it ranked second (behind Linda), but it was #1 again in 1980. In 1985 it jumped down to #10, and it was off of the charts by 1990.

This name is also used in Limburgish. The Limburgish pronunciation is the same as the Dutch pronunciation.

In Norway (and I think in other places in Scandinavia) Anne is most common as a FIRST name. It is the most common female name.

Anne is also a very common Dutch name. The name is at this moment one of the most popular first names in the Netherlands. Also a funny fact: In the Frisian language (spoken in the Dutch province Friesland) it can also be a name for a boy. At my school there's a boy who bears the name 'Anne'. [noted -ed]

A very common middle name for girls.
