Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Nancy vzniklo v angličtine ako domácka podoba mena Annis, stredovekej podoby Agnes, slovenského Agnesa. Jeho starším základom je grécke hagnós, „čistý, cudný“. Neskôr sa Nancy používalo ako domácka podoba Ann či Anne, teda Anny, pochádzajúcej z hebrejského Channá, „milosť, priazeň“. Ide o historické prepojenie dvoch mien, nie o zloženinu ich koreňov.
