NANNY.
The same as Scottish Nannie
(q.v.), a pet form of Anne
(q.v.), meaning "compassion, grace." (History of Christian Names, Yonge,
1884). Usage: America, England, Ireland.
... Nanny raised her eyes to
thank her, and did as she requested; and it was indeed a touching thing
to see that child in all the budding beauty of infancy, attending so
anxiously on the withered female whose name was seldom pronounced
without dread or malediction. (The Dublin Penny Journal, Hardy,
v.4, 1835)
