Usage of Anna
So I noticed on the database that, while Hannah is listed with Jewish usage, Anna (which is basically a variation of the name), is not. Is it commonly used in the Jewish community? Not necessarily with a Rebecca, Rachel, Miriam sort of popularity, but is it at least marginally popular?

I'd say it is, depending on the Jewish community. My Jewish cousin's first name is Anna. A famous bearer of the name was vaudeville actress Anna Held.
