Annot

Meaning

The excerpted sources show Annot as an old diminutive form, especially of Annora or Alianora in medieval northern England, rather than originally of Anna. The name later came to be treated as equivalent to Annette and thus connected with Anne, but the older etymological trail in these books points to that earlier medieval feminine name tradition.

Origin

Fun fact

Bardsley notes that Annot became so common in North England that even the common sea-gull was called by that name.
