Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

Through its connection to Arnold, Anno is related to the Germanic word for "eagle".

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Anno je historické mužské meno germánskeho pôvodu. Duden ho vykladá ako skrátenú podobu mena Arnold, ktorého prvý člen arn znamená „orol“. V historickej onomastickej literatúre sa doložené podoby Anno spájajú aj so starohornonemeckým ano „predok“. Neistota sa týka konkrétneho slovného základu, nie germánskeho pôvodu. Odvodenie tohto mužského mena od hebrejského mena Anna nie je v použitých odborných zdrojoch doložené.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Mužský rod, výklad cez Arnolda a historický nositeľ: Duden – Lexikon der Vornamen, heslo Anno, s. 70. Alternatívny germánsky základ ano „predok“ pri historických dokladoch: Dieter Kremer – Die germanischen Personennamen in Katalonien, časť I, heslo 8. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou všeobecnej slovenskej paradigmy mužských životných mien na -o, nie citáciou samostatného slovníkového hesla Anno: Pravidlá slovenského pravopisu – prehľad skloňovania. Ustálené slovenské zdrobneniny sa v použitých zdrojoch nepodarilo doložiť.
