Anner, of German origin, is an unusual and distinctive given name that is derived from the Germanic word 'arnar', meaning 'eagle'. This name has been more commonly used as a surname but has started to appear more frequently as a first name in recent years. It's often associated with strength and courage, much like its eagle namesake.
The name Anner experienced fluctuating popularity throughout the late 19th to mid-20th century, with the highest number of births recorded in 1915 (27 births) and 1928 (22 births). However, it seems that after a peak around the early 20th century, the name's popularity gradually declined, with fewer than 10 births recorded per year from 1947 onwards. Overall, there were 1037 births recorded over this period.
