How did Saint Anne get her name?

That would have been the name given to her by her parents when she was born. However, we are not absolutely sure that the mother of the Blessed Virgin was named Anne. That is the name given her in an apocryphal writing, not in scripture. For lack of any other source for her name, Anne continues to be the name under which she has been honored for nearly 2000 years.
