Talk:Aniki

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The item "A given name of Hebrew origin meaning 'grace'" is misleadingly worded. As far as I can tell (and citations to refute or establish these claims are certainly welcome!), the given name Aniki derives from Anika, which derives from Anne, which derives from a latinization of the Hebrew Hannah. However, Aniki is neither a biblical name nor a common name among modern Hebrew speakers. More importantly, 'Aniki' does not mean 'grace' in Hebrew, regardless of the fact that the name Hannah is derived from the word "He has graced". To illustrate, claiming that Aniki means 'grace' in Hebrew is equivalent to claiming that Johnny is Hebrew for "God has graced". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.126.0.45 (talk) 21:54, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
