Her name was Maria Anna, and "Nannerl" was a nickname from "Anna," similar to the English "Annie." I always wondered why it wasn't "Annchen," the usual German diminutive for Anna, but apparently Austrian-Bavarian German uses the ending "-erl" to make diminutive nicknames. Her brother was "Wolferl" within the family.
