ArchivesNahnatchka - origin, meaning?
Anyone have a clue about the origin and or meaning of the name Nahnatchka? I love this name, it's gorgeous. But wouldn't use it without knowing more about it. I guessed its female?
I saw it on the credits of the TV cartoon series 'American Dad' 'Nahnatchka Khan'

It's likely that this is just someone's respelling or mishearing of Ninotchka, inspired by the 1939 Greta Garbo movie. Ninotchka is a Russian diminutive of Nina.
