    Nancy Origin and Meaning
    The name Nancy is a girl's name of Hebrew, French origin.
    Nancy originated as a contraction of “mine Ancy,” with Ancy being a nickname for Annis, a Medieval English variation of Agnes. In the 18th century it began being used in its own right, as well as a nickname for Ann.

  9. Ann, as the daughter of Thomas Meador and wife of Samuel Berry, is identified in the newspaper advertisement of July 1840. There is only one known Samuel Berry in Chesterfield, and he appears to be the Samuel Berry whose land was sold for back taxes, then moved to Alabama and later to Louisiana. In census records for 1850 and later, Samuel's wife is named Nancy. There is, as yet, no evidence that Samuel's wife Ann died after 1840 and that he remarried. The more likely explanation for the "difference" in her name is that Nancy and Ann are the same person, with Nancy a known variant for Ann.
