覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Anna は普通名詞ではなく女性名なので、文中では原則として先頭を大文字にして Anna と書きます。ヘブライ語 Hannah「恵み」に連なる国際的な名前で、英語圏だけでなく欧州各地で使われます。Anna lives ... や my friend Anna のように、人を特定する固有名詞として覚えましょう。
Remember Anna as a person’s name, not as a common noun. In normal English writing it begins with a capital letter: Anna. Link it with Hannah, the older Hebrew name from which it ultimately developed, and with the idea of “grace” or “favor.” Because the name is used across many languages, imagine the same Anna living in an international city, speaking several languages, or studying music in Vienna. Typical patterns are my friend Anna, Anna lives in Atlanta, and Anna moved to Vienna. These frames also reinforce that no article is normally placed before a person’s given name.

Anna ultimately comes from the Hebrew feminine name Hannah, traditionally understood as “grace” or “favor.” The form Anna spread through Greek and Latin transmission and became established in many European languages. It is closely related to forms such as Anne and Ann. Nancy also developed historically as a pet form associated with Ann, although it is now generally treated as an independent given name.
