Anamika meaning
Anamika (अनामिका) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
The ring finger
Also used to mean: nameless
Anamika (अनामिका) is the Sanskrit word for the ring finger, as Monier-Williams records. It is made of a-, "without", and nāman, "name", so it literally means "the nameless one": unlike the thumb or forefinger, this finger has no descriptive name of its own. Name lists give "nameless" or "ring finger", both of which match. The name is used across North India.
