HelpRe: Anina is a Hebrew name
in reply to a message by MariaNikolaievnaRomanova
I like that it means "Answer my prayer" just as I like that Miriam means "bitterly wished for child." How exactly is Anina pronounced? They might make great sister names!

About the name Miriam (Miryam)
Anina is pronounced a-NEE-na, like Nina with an "a" in front of it.
As for Miriam or the phonetical Hebrew, Miryam (meer-YAWM), there's some difference of opinion among scholars as to what the name actually means. Miryam is made up of two Hebrew words, mar meaning "bitter" and yam meaning "sea" (and water, as well). So, while it translates in Hebrew as meaning "bitter sea/water", there's still some debate over the actual meaning of Miryam, perhaps due to translations in other launguages. Other meanings that I've seen are "rising waters" and "rebellious". I'm not sure where they come from, one explanation could be the association with Moshe's sister.
No matter the meaning, I rather like Anina and Miryam as sister names. Thanks for pointing that out. :)
