- Nancy Meaning
- Previously a medieval diminutive of Annis, though since the 18th century it has been a diminutive of Anne. It is now usually regarded as an independent name. During the 20th century it became very popular in the United States. A city in the Lorraine region of France bears this name, though it derives from a different source. Nancy is derived from the Hebrew name Anna, which means "filled with grace". Initially, it was used only as a nickname but later on it developed into its own proper name and has been popular for more than two centuries now. Some believe that the name developed from Agnes. Nancy can also be used as a surname.
