The name that is transliterated as “Annas” in English means “grace of Yahweh,” “humble.” (Source: Cornwall / Smith 1997 )
In Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) it is translated with a sign that combines the letter A and a combination of the letter C (for “cetro,” Portuguese for “scepter”) and the sign for “scepter,” indicating power. (Source: Aline Martins and Paul Fahnestock)
