I think the difference between Ana and Anna doesn't have to do with "let's shorten it" but more with the spelling rules in each language. Some languages just don't use as many double consonants as others.

In Portuguese, as in English, double consonants don't sound any different from single ones. So Brazil and Portugal got together and decided to abandon them. RR and SS can stay, because they do sound different from R and S.

Anita Martini was a Houston based sportscaster. She broke a lot of barriers for women in broadcasting in the seventies. I think it helped that her name sounds like the phrase "I need a martini."

In Portuguese we also call someone who's called Ana as Aninha /ah.'nee.nyuh/ as a nickname, which also means "little Ana" or "little Anne".

@milic5749

Yup. In Spanish, "Little Orphan Annie" is called "Anita la huerfanita," which is a literal translation that also happens to make it a rhyming title.

French uses Anne with 2 Ns (they tend not to like words ending in A). Also Anita is basically the Spanish for Annie (the same way Juanito = Johnny)

Hebrew also has the name Chanita in it. While as far as I know it is not directly related to Channah, I wonder if it is somehow related to Anita.

my family is friends with an old Anita from our church, we're parskahye (Iranian Armenians) and our friend 's name is pronounced Uh n Eata (best way i could type that out, isn't suppost to sound like the english pronunciation of Anita at all)

I thought he would continue shorten Anna to a version of Anne (ex. Ann, An, Ane) and not to Ana.

2:03 In Polish, the digraph "ch" also just makes the h-sound but it's redundant because "h" can appear on its own with the exact identical sound. Examples; Croatia = Chorwacja "horv-ats-ya" Hook = Hak

@LangThoughts

2 жыл бұрын

That's because in older forms of Polish "h" made the sound it does in English and German.

There is also the name Anya, from Russian, which is a shortening of Anastasia. It’s technically spelt Ana, but there is a “y” sound which is due to a quirk in Russian spelling. This name commonly becomes the traditional “Anna” in English, since most English speakers (at least in the US) tend to butcher pronouncing “Anya”. Even then, in my experience most people have pronounced Anna as Ann-Uh with a noticeable pause instead of just saying An-na.

Maybe it interest you, we have also the name Anita in persian, and I had thought before that the both name in persian and european languages have the same origin in some proto-european form, and I found out as you explained in the video the european Anita ist the diminutive form of Anna, but Antia in Persian is seems to be a kind of different form of "Anahita", "the divinity of waters or rivers" [ in old iranian religion, "Zoroastraism" ], which has also other forms like "Anahid", "Anahit" and "Nahid" as well. I don't know if it was a convergent evolution of both names or somehow in modern days the european "Anita" sneaked in as a form of Anahita. I didn't found more Infos on that. I didn't know who may someday need my research results, but I think if it would interest anyone, they would found it here!😅😂

As a famiy tree nerd, I've seen lots of cases where a person is recorded as Hannah on some records and Anna on others - likewise Hester and Esther.

These videos are always amazing

Diminutive names can also be thought of as encompassing the word "little." _-ita_ names are sometimes given to the daughters of someone with the OG name (like Anita for Anna). The one exception that comes to mind is my late mother's name of _Noreen,_ which translates from both Old Irish and Old Norse as "little Nora." It's a diminutive but it breaks the pattern with how it's spelled.

Pretty sure Anita is just taken from Spanish. As you said, it's an affectionate way of calling Ana. In Spanish the name Anita is really strange for itself.

True though, the name Anita isnt popular anymore. One of the famous ones I know is Malaysian singer Anita Sarawak, and she's a pretty old legend. Strangely coincidental, when I woke up this morning i randomly thought about why not a lot of people afe named Anita anymore & we need yo repopularize the name, and a few hours later you uploaded this video

How about singer Anita Carter of the legendary Carter family? Her voice was beyond amazing!

I know several Anitas! One is no longer married into the family, though she is the mother of several of my cousins so she's still family. One of my classmates in elementary school is Anita. I know there have been others over the years, though I can only recall those two at this moment.

Ana may have become popular in all those countries because the Hapsburgs ruled the Austro-Hungarian empire, including parts of Romainia and the Balkans, and also Spain.

Anita means "little Ana" in Spanish. And it doesn't need two N's because Spanish is simple like that.

Anita Bryant was a famous singer.

I am from Germany, and Costa Cordalis already starts singing in my head: "Ich fand sie irgendwo, allein in Mexiko: Anita." No seriously, this song is just named Anita and was really popular in Germany.

It kinda makes sense in Spanish where it is common for them to add the suffix “ito” or “ita” to a name as if to mean “little” or “junior”. So in Spanish Anita= little Ana By the way I’m not a native speaker of Spanish, I’m just basing this purely on observation of their language.

4:17 French tweaks final -a into final -e. ANNE. That's where the English version ANN comes from. Ann in Famous Five becomes Anne in Club de Cinq.

In Spanish, we would never write Anna, because of the rules we have for written language and how it pertains to pronunciation.

the CH is probably a hebrew throat sound.

There was a German pop song with ANITA in Germany in the early 1980s. But I can only remember roughly, back then I was still a child. Anyway, it could be heard on the radio and TV.

Here in Brazil there's a young singer that chose the artistic name of Anitta. I think she chose it because there was a brazillian miniseries named "Presença de Anita", that featured a Lolita-type protagonist.

Also, in southern Brazil there was a famous revolutionary woman named Anita Garibaldi that fought in the Ragamuffin War.

The version "Anna" is the one used here in Poland and as a diminutive of it, "Ania" is the most popular but there are some other versions in existence like "Aneczka", "Anula" etc. (you can say I am sort of an expert on that lol). Interestingly tho "Anita" also exists here but as a separate name. We also have "Aneta" which apparently also comes all the way from Anna, or rather, Hannah.

"Anita" is also a pop-song from the German band Costa Cordalis. It's about a girl the singer met in Mexiko... and it's the sort of big cheese only German "Schlager" can produce.

The only Anita I know is from 101 Dalmatians, which came out in the 60's. But I doubt that's the reason for the peak. I like the name, though - it has a good ring.

My mum's middle name is hanane, and her nicknames are Anne, Anita, Annie, Anna, anya, and hannah

7:25 Not just an animiation show, Maya the Bee, but before that a book and in Germany and Austria at least beside that a comic paper. Waldemar Bonsels - a German and actually member of the NSDAP too - wrote the book. _But_ the anime is actually from Japan.

I went to grade school ( ages 5-12 NON-Americans) with a girl named Anita. that was back 89-96 A paternal 1st cousin has a daughter named Hannah A classmate's sister is Anna she was also my sister's classmate.

If it weren't before 5am where she lives I'd send this video to my aunt Anita right now, I saved a draft of the text for later on when she is awake. Weird that the Ana n Anita from ur research didn't seem too popular in Italia cuz my grandpa was an Italian Immigrant n all the kids had very Italian sounding names whereas my sister n I have names that sound very French when said in full but pass for english if u don't use our dad's last name. Saying my last name, as simple as it is, with an anglophone accent is impossible for people to hear properly(they often mistake it for a Celtic name) n even if they do they spell it wrong cuz the english vocabulary only understands 2 of the 3 spellings of my name, the other 2 sound the same but have a completely different meaning n origin.

(I have both Anita and Anna's in my family tree - they were all called Chana - their birth name, by other Jews, and secularly known as anna, anita (respectively).. I know a Tsipora who goes by Amy = she just gave up on Americans pronouncing the ts sound.
