Anna doesn't mean anything in German. Like most Western European names, it is borrowed from Hebrew or Greek (usually through Latin) and comes from the Bible. Anna comes from Hanna (Old Testament, 1 Samuel, so Hebrew originally).

Nothing. It comes from the Hebrew name "Hannah", meaning "He (God) has favoured me/favours me (i.e. with a child)."
