Meaning not confirmed
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself.
Ancy is a name heard mostly among Christian families in Kerala, part of a group of short, modern-sounding girls' names such as Bincy and Blessy. We could not find it in any dictionary, so we do not give it a meaning. It is usually explained as a pet form of Ann, the English form of Hannah, or of Annis, an old English form of Agnes, which comes from Greek hagne, 'pure'. Neither link is documented, so treat them as likely rather than certain. A well-known bearer is the Kerala long jumper Ancy Sojan.
