Anja

  1. a female given name
    • 1911, Juhani Aho, Juha, SKS, published 1994, →ISBN, page 90:
      ―Voi, kuinka on toivottu uutta emäntää, alkoi Anja taas puhua, hentoinen, herttainen tyttö ―hyvä entinenkin, mutta nuori ja iloinen aina parempi.
      ―Oh, how have we wished for a new mistress, Anja began to spoke again, the graceful, sweet girl ―the erstwhile one was a good too, but a young and happy one is always better.
    • 2011, Anna Tommola, Seitsemäs käsiala ja muita kertomuksia, WSOY, →ISBN:
      »Hei kaulakas, annatkos sen vihkosen Anja-tädille.» Laina koki tulleensa puhutelluksi. Että korkeintaan varhaiskeski-ikäisen ihmisen nimi oli Anja ja että hän siitä huolimatta viesti äänellä, jossa ei ollut mitään anteeksipyytävää tai pidäteltyä. Se oli hurjaa.
      "Hey long-neck, could you hand that booklet to auntie Anja" Laina felt she was being talked to, that the name of the woman, at best early middle-aged, was Anja and that she still talked at a voice without any forgiveness or restraint. That was wild.
    • 2012, Pekka Koistinen, Kylän viimeiset vartijat: Kertomuksia, BoD - Books on Demand, →ISBN, page 81:
      ”Tuon naisen täytyy olla nimeltään Anja tai Leena”, ajatteli Tim mielessään. He odottivat hoitajan vastaanotolle. Anja, kuten Tim mielessään päätti naisen nimeksi, oli vaalea, rauhallisen ja tasapainoisen oloinen.
      "That woman must be called Anja or Leena", Tim thought in his head. They were waiting at the nurses' reception. Anja, as Tim thought was the woman's name, was bright, calm, balanced.
