anima meaning "anger, courage, essence, feeling, mind, passion, spirit," from the PIE root *ane-, meaning "to breathe," the same root from which the words animal and animation came. But in Christian contexts, the word anima was used to translate the Greek word psykhe into "soul" (not "spirit"), and this is the same anima from which the personal name was derived. I saw someone suggested anima tan that would change the meaning to Literary name, possibly inspired by the Greek name Amynta meaning "defender."
