Andula
Andula Origin and Meaning
Andula is a feminine name with Slavic origins, primarily used in Czech and Slovak cultures. It's traditionally a diminutive form of Anna, meaning 'grace' or 'favor.' The name carries a warm, affectionate quality as diminutives in Slavic languages often express endearment. Andula remains relatively uncommon outside of Central European countries, making it a distinctive choice internationally. The name has a melodic flow with its three syllables and soft consonants. While maintaining connections to the classic Anna, Andula offers a more unique alternative with its cultural specificity. For families with Czech or Slovak heritage, it can serve as a meaningful connection to cultural roots while still being accessible in pronunciation for non-speakers.
