Annchen is a feminine name of Germanic origin, functioning as a diminutive form of Anna. The '-chen' suffix in German is used to express endearment and smallness, essentially meaning 'little Anna.' Anna itself derives from the Hebrew name Hannah, meaning 'grace.' Annchen would be most commonly found in German-speaking regions or communities with German heritage. While not widely used internationally, it carries a sweet, affectionate quality that some parents might find appealing. The name has a traditional European charm while remaining relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, making it both distinctive and culturally rich for those with German connections.
