Nannerl

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: German

Meaning: Favour, grace

Nannerl is not only musical in sound but also in meaning. It’s believed to have come from a nickname given to the famous Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart’s sister, Maria Anna Mozart, who was also said to be a talented pianist. Some sources speculate that Maria, or “Nannerl,” was the leading inspiration and coach for Mozart. It’s likely this feminine name is a spin on the Hebrew Anna, which derives from Hannah, meaning “favor” or “grace.” Whether you are a fan of classical music, a supporter of talented women, or just simply love the melodic sound, Nannerl is the perfect name for your little one.
