More facts about the name "Anya" and some of "Nico"

Hi, Everyone!


I believe yesterday, someone asked me what the name "Anya" meant. Or maybe they didn't, well; I truly don't remember, but that doesn't mean I can't tell you.  Anyway, it means "grace" or "favor of grace".; and the name "Anya" actually originated from the name "Hannah", then it got cut down to "Annie", then shorten again to "Anya". A lot of people (years ago), would have re-shorten the name "Anya", by taking out the "y" in it. I have no idea Y (Why), lol;-)


Anya is rarely used as a boy's name. Compare that to the name "Nico", now on the other hand, Nico is used as a girl's name a lot!  Now I have no idea Y (Why), ha! See what I did there? I re-used the Y again. Lol;-). Anyway..... Why would you name your daughter "Nico"?  I am not saying Nico is a bad name. Y (Why), hehehe, would I say that? I like the name. As you can see I have a Ragdoll named that! 

The meaning of the name Nico is 'victory of the people'. Nico is name of Greek origin given to boys and whose pronunciation is Nee-koe. The name is a form of Nicholas, but also has other variant forms which are; Nicos, Niko and Nikos.



Anya is Russian.


Anya.
Nico.

  2. Beautiful names for beautiful kitties!!
    Mommy's college roommate's kitty was named Nicky. And he was a fluffy gray kitty. We think Nico would have fit him better. But Mommy said there was a Greek deli there named Nico's and she loved going there....
