About the name Anja
Anja belongs to the English & American tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Anja first appears in Social Security records in 1962. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #1684 in 2002, and in 2024 48 babies received the name — 2,761 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
