Ania
Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Ania: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2010.
A short, melodic name with deep roots, Ania is a Polish and Ukrainian diminutive of Anna, which itself derives from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favour'. The name gained international recognition through Polish singer Ania (Anna Dąbrowska), a celebrated pop star with multiple platinum albums, and also belongs to Ania Loomba, a prominent literary scholar. While no major places share the name, it is a close cousin to the Russian diminutive Anya, which has found widespread affection in English-speaking countries. Ania offers a fresh, slightly less common alternative to Anna, carrying the same timeless meaning of grace while feeling distinctly European and modern.
