Anna

Anna appears to be a timeless and straightforward name. This name is derived from the Hebrew name Hannah, which comes from the word ‘Chanan,’ meaning “grace.” The name quickly gained popularity because to its association with Mary’s mother, Saint Anna, in the New Testament. While Anna is the most frequent, there are several variations, including Annie, Annalise, Anais, and Anika. There are too many legendary Annas to name, but one of our favorites is unquestionably Elsa’s sister from “Frozen.” Anne, Queen of England, was given the name Anna (with an A), and the current Princess Royal is also named Anne. Eleanor Roosevelt’s birth name was Anne, but it changed somewhere along the way, then there’s Anne Frank, who is famed for her diary written while in hiding.

Emma

Emma has a rich history while being simple and contemporary, yet undeniably feminine. It’s difficult to find all of these features combined into a single name. The name originated as a diminutive of the German word that means “universal,” and it has long been a popular choice among English families. You can’t go wrong with the name carried by gorgeous and famous actresses such as Emma Stone and Emma Watson. Emma was one of the most popular names given in the United States between 2014 and 2018, but it has gained popularity in Germany (where it originated), Spain, and Poland.
