In 2025, 347 babies in England and Wales were named Anna. In the US, 4,528 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 15,666 in 1918.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Anna was most common in 1885, when it went to 2.81% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
