Etymology

From Hurrian *an-an-uḫḫə or *an-an-uγə. Compare attested Akkadian 𒌑𒀭𒈾𒉌𒄷 (/⁠ananīḫu⁠/, possibly mint), Ugaritic 𐎀𐎐𐎐𐎃 (ảnnḫ, mint), both considered loans from Hurrian 𒀭𒀭𒄴𒄭 (an-an-iḫ-ḫe /⁠ananiḫḫə⁠/). These are from the same source, with the loss of initial a-: Akkadian 𒌑𒆳𒊏 (/⁠nīnû⁠/, mint), Aramaic נַעְנַע (naʿnaʿ), Classical Syriac ܢܰܥܢܱܥ (naʿnaʿ), Aramaic נַנְעָא (nānʿā), Classical Syriac ܢܳܢܥܴܐ (nānʿā), Arabic نَعْنَاع (naʕnāʕ), Hebrew נַעְנַע (naʿnaʿ), Turkish nane, Armenian նանա (nana). Probably related but for a plant distinguished in each language: Akkadian 𒈾𒉌𒄷 (/⁠naniḫu⁠/, toothpickweed), Aramaic נָנְחָא / ܢܳܢܚܳܐ (nānḥā, toothpickweed, Visnaga daucoides, syn. Ammi visnaga), Arabic نَانَخَة (nānaḵa, toothpickweed; ajwain), Ugaritic 𐎐𐎐𐎜 (nnủ, a plant mentioned in hippiatry, possibly toothpickweed).
