Origin:Hebrew
Other Origin(s):Finnish
Meaning:My cloud; Cloud of Yah; Yahweh is gracious; God has favored
Anani has been used as a name for girls and boys over the millennia, its roots ultimately in Hebrew. Particularly popular in Finland, Anani is derived from the Hebrew element chănanyâh, meaning "Yahweh is gracious" or "God has favored." Very much in the same Hebrew-derived vein, Anani is a gender-neutral choice that is weightless and free, meaning “my cloud” or “cloud of Yah” from the word anan. Despite its link to fluffy bundles of ice crystals floating through the air, Anani has an undeniably warm tone as it trips off the tongue. Just like a cloud, baby will undoubtedly weather storms, delight others with their buoyant nature, and explore many shapes and colors on the path to self-discovery.
