Meaning and origin

Annie means Grace, or favor — inherited from the Hebrew root ḥanan ("he was gracious, showed favor") via Hannah and Anna/Anne.

Annie began as an English diminutive of Anne/Ann but became an independent given name in its own right, especially prominent in Scotland and Ireland; it gained particular momentum in English-speaking usage during the Victorian era.
