Anonna
a-nonna,

Origin:Latin
Other Origin(s):Roman

A name of elusive origin, Anonna is most likely a variant of the Roman and Latin Annona. This feminine moniker can be chosen in honor of a Roman goddess, who was the personification of yearly grain produce. The ancients worshipped Annona in the hopes that she would increase grain production and lower the price of food. Anonna simply switches the placement of the letter n to create a truly unique name. With its themes of harvest and abundance, Anonna is ideal for the little tot with a lot to offer.
