My name Anya has a meaning to it. I got this name because my name means gracious and graceful. My parents wanted me to have an easy name to spell and pronounce.  They wanted me to have an easy name to pronounce so it would make it easier for classmates, peers, friends, teachers, and others to say. My parents wanted me to have a name to reflect on my Indian background. Both my parents’ mom and dad are from India and my grandparents parents are also from India.
