distribution
The name Annika quickly gained popularity in Germany in the early 1970s , having previously been practically unknown. The reason for this could be the Pippi Longstocking films that were released at that time and in which one of the main characters is Annika. From the beginning of the 1980s to the turn of the millennium, the name was among the twenty most commonly given female first names, in the 1990s it was often among the "top ten". Since then, its popularity has decreased somewhat.
