In Britain, this name started to gain more usage from 1983 and saw triple-digit numbers of babies named Anneka from 1984-1988 (the peak being around 246 baby girls in '85 in England & Wales), coinciding with the appearances of presenter Anneka Rice as the "skyrunner" in the game show Treasure Hunt, which was first broadcast on 28th December 1982, garnered millions of viewers and lasted for 7 seasons in the original series (lasted until 1989), though Rice left the show after the sixth season ended in 1988. After that, the name fell down to double-digit numbers in the 90s and single-digits from the 2000s onward in England & Wales.
