Anna is a very popular female first name and a popular surname (source: 1990 U.S. Census). The origin of the name Anna is Hebrew and Latin and its meaning is 'Grace' or 'Favor' in both origins. Anna as a name is taken as a Latin variant of the popular name, Hannah.  Anna also has its origins in Sanskrit (India) with a bit of a difference in pronunciation (by sating 'N' on a high note), and there it means Grain.  Anna is used in Greek, Italian, Hindi, English and Finnish countries.
