It is not a diminutive of Ana, at least not in Romanian. Both Ana and Anca have a common origin (Hebrew), and their own diminutives in Romanian. The one for Anca is Ancuța (pronounced Ankutzah).

I've come across this name as a nickname of the Romanian girl's name Ancuta (prn Ahn-COO-tah).

I do think it is related to Ana, from the traditional pet name of Ana (in Romanian), Anica. So, I find a certain connection.
