Where does “Anne” come from?
I can't write this etymology summary because the chain provided shows only circular repetitions between "Ann" and "annual" in English, with no progression to older languages or ultimate origins. A valid etymology requires tracing backward through actual language stages (such as Old English, Latin, etc.) to establish a genuine linguistic ancestry. The current chain doesn't meet the requirement to "name every language in the chain in order."
