Anaka

When you hear the feminine name Anaka spoken aloud, you might just like the way it sounds. This charming moniker has links to several different languages, so it has many meanings for you to consider. In the Indian language of Pali, Anaka refers to a specific type of “kettledrum” that could be beaten only at one end. Perhaps little Anaka will learn to sing or play an instrument someday, filling your home with the sound of their tunes! Anaka could also have Japanese roots, translating to “name,” “jade-like,” and “inferior.” While the term “inferior” might imply lesser status, every moment with baby will feel like the best yet. As a possible variant of the Scandinavian Annika, Anaka shares Anna’s Hebrew definitions of “favor” and “graciousness.”
