Help[Facts] Re: King Anna and his name
in reply to a message by thegriffon
Indeed it does! :) By the way, a variant of the Frisian name Anne is Anno, which resembles the Anglo-Saxon king's name more closely:

Anno was also used in medieval German as a diminutive or short form of Arnold (though other Arn- names should also be possible; also compare Arno in the main database). So, the name is not exclusively Frisian:

Anno was the name of several medieval German bishops, the earliest of which was bishop Anno I of Cologne (died around 715 AD):
