Nanci as a name

“Nanci” is a variant spelling of the name “Nancy,” which is of English origin. The name Nancy is derived from the medieval name “Annice,” which is a diminutive of the name “Agnes.”

The name Nancy became popular in the 18th century and was often used as a nickname for women named Ann or Anne. It was also used as a standalone name in its own right. Nancy was most popular in the United States during the mid-20th century, and has since declined in popularity.

Some famous people with the name Nancy include Nancy Reagan (former First Lady of the United States), Nancy Pelosi (Speaker of the United States House of Representatives), and Nancy Drew (fictional character in a series of mystery novels).
