Is there a St. Anna?

[Princess_Anna]

I was just wondering because my name is Anna and I did a quick search and came up with this:
catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=1416

I always thought there wasn’t a St. Anna. I knew there was a Prophetess called Anna but not a saint

Can anyone clarify this for me?

There are a number of saints with the name Anna. Check this out:

Thank you! Why was it that I was always told that there is not a St. Anna? How odd…

Well, I didn’t read them all, but it appears that many of them are Blessed, which means they aren’t saints yet. Also, at least one of them changed her name from Anna to something else upon becoming a nun, so that might be another reason.
