Re: Oh....he has reached here too!
Anna means elder brother in Kannada, a regional Indian language. He is endearingly called so. His real name is different as cleared by Kirke. Anna in Sanskrit means foodgrain but I haven't heard of any name in that sense. Ana in Hindi does mean coin but this word and the kind of coin it denotes is no more in use.Anna in Anna Hazare, Anna in Sanskrit and Ana as a coin are spelled and prounounced differently. Ana meaning coin, I suppose is similar to English name Ana or Anna in pronunciation.
