Origin:British
Other Origin(s):Greek, Hebrew
Meaning:Pure, chaste; Graciousness, favor
With its double-lettered spelling and vintage charm, the feminine name Nanncy is one to consider. Just like its variant, Nancy, Nanncy is a shortened form of Annis, Agnes, and Anne. While first coined as a nickname in medieval England, Nanncy’s meanings stem from other languages. In Greek, Nanncy means “pure” or “chaste,” which could symbolize the unconditional love between you and your little one. Anne’s Hebrew translations of “graciousness” or “favor” are also shared with Nanncy, so expect great things ahead for your new addition.
