Anakin

Anakin is an out-of-this-world boy’s name created in America. While some may think this name’s origins lie amongst the stars, its roots actually lie in British. Anakin was created by George Lucas for Star Wars, and this name is famously shared with the iconic Anakin Skywalker. It’s believed he took inspiration from his friend and co-director, Ken Annakin. This last name has elusive origins, possibly stemming from Hankin, Jenkin, or Jankin, and the precise meaning is unknown. Although Anakin Skywalker crossed to the dark side of the force, no doubt your little Jedi will be able to fight off not only stormtroopers but also anything bad that comes their way. Baby Ani is sure to thrive, be it on Tatooine or Planet Earth.
