It is a Swedish diminutive for Anna, derived in the 15th century from Anneke, a Dutch and Northern Germanic diminutive of Anna. Swedish-born retired professional golfer Annika Sörenstam is a well-known bearer of the name. It is also a name that was in use for Black women in the mid- to late 1800s in the United States, according to census records.
