Queen Annen.

Brit.

/ˌkwiːn ˈan/, U.S.

/ˈkwin ˈæn/

Forms: 1700s– Queen Anne, 1800s– Queen Ann.

Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Queen Anne.

Etymology: < Queen Anne (1665–1714), the name of the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, who reigned from 1702–14.The name Queen Anne's lace (see sense 2b) has been given many folk etymologies, some of them referring to different historical figures, but the connection with Queen Anne of Great Britain and Ireland seems likely in view of her known skill in lace-making. Compare slightly earlier queen's lace n. at queen n. Compounds 3c. Queen Anne's daffodil n. at sense 2c may have been named after a different person, perhaps Queen Anne of Austria (1601–66), Queen Consort of Navarre and France (1615–43) and later Regent of France (1643–51) (compare quots. 1889 for Queen Anne's daffodil n. and 1951 for Queen Anne's daffodil n. at sense 2c), but this is difficult to verify or refute. The variety of daffodil is apparently first recorded in the bishop's garden in Eichstätt in the early 17th cent. (hence its varietal name, post-classical Latin Eystettensis).
