Meaning: Warrior; Soldier; Army; Splendor

If baby is as mysterious as the depths of the uncharted ocean, consider the name Anikan. Although Anikan's origins are uncertain, it may be a variant of Anakin or Anik. Anakin, initially thought to be a spin on George Lucas's fellow director Ken Annakin, is believed to mean "warrior." Outside of Tatooine and the Galactic Republic, Anik is a moniker mainly associated with Hindi and Sanskrit origins, signifying "army," "soldier," and "splendor." Wherever your little Anikan ventures, may the Force guide him to wield his lightsaber as a Jedi, fighting for the side of righteousness.
