Anna is a girl´s name

anne means mother (according to the dictionary here, this is preferred version in istanbul, and was also what I was taught in Turkish classes)

ana is also used to mean mother

ana and anne are same but anne is more polite.
people tend to use ana for older moms.

 

bacı means sister and can be used to mean this but not common. bacı also used for someone to whom you dont have any desire, emphasizing this meaning you are like my sister.
