the VIIth Egyptian dynasty.
f. Ana, an Egyptian lady, the wife of Aker,

Archaic Dictionary, Cooper, 1876).
... On
(the city name) is said to be a form of the Egyptian Ana, one of
the names of the sun-god, usually called Ra, whose chief place of
worship was in the city. Hence its Hebrew name Beth-Shemesh (Jer.
xliii. 13), "House of the Sun," and the Greek form, Heliopolis,
"City of the Sun."... (Journal
of the Transactions of the Victoria Institute, v.20, 1887).
ANA (עֲנָה).
m. Variant spelling of biblical Anah
(q.v.), meaning "hearkening to," "granting." In the
bible, this is the name of a "son" of Zibeon (Gen. xxxvi. 24)

"duke" (29).

ANA.
f. Latin form of Greek Anna
(q.v.), meaning "compassion, grace" and "prayers,"
or, from Latin annus, meaning "year." Usage: America,

ANA.
f. Irish name of a goddess of war, said to be the mother of the gods,
meaning "mother." Also spelled Anna.
... In the Lebor Gebhala or
Book of Occupation, preserved in the Book of Leinster, the
Irish war-goddess Ana or Anann, known as Mater deorum Hibernensium,
is mentioned with Badb and Macha as the daughter of Ernmas, but in a
versified form of the same poem Ana has disappeared, and the lines run
according to Hennessy's translation: "Badb and Mach, rich the
store, / Morrigan who dispenses confusion." This is not at
all a common identification, and in the account of the battle of
Magh-Tuiredh, all four goddesses are mentioned; but the passage supplies
an instance of the substitution of Morrigan (Morgan) for Ana
(Anna).
The second passage to which I refer is Malory's
version of the episode of Arthur and the enchantress Annowre. We
have already seen that one form of this incident was probably attached
to Morgain. In other words a name resembling Anna, and the name
Morgain are associated with the same series of events... (Studies in
the Fairy Mythology of Arthurian Romance, Paton, 1903).
