Anni

1. a female given name
   • 1840, Kanteletar:1:217 Kojo ja Anni:

     "Annas, Kolkko, Anniasi!"
     "Miksi sinulle Anniani?"
     "Kojon pojan puolisoksi."
     "Mull’ on musta Annikkini."

   • 1977, Marja-Leena Mikkola, Anni Manninen, Otava, published 1979, →ISBN, pages 7–8:

     Hän harmitteli taas kerran sitä, että hänen nimensä oli Anni. Miksei Adelhaid? Tai edes Annina? Anni oli ollut mummon nimi, ja koska mummokin oli ollut punatukkainen, äiti oli lykännyt tuon arkipäiväisen nimen omalle tyttövauvalleen.

     She again lamented how her name was Anni. Why not Adelhaid? Or even Annina? Anni was what her grandmother had been called, and because she had been a redhead too, the mother had given this mundane name to her own baby daughter too.
