- For the abbreviation or acronym ANI, please see ANI.
In Etruscan mythology, Ani was the sky god, perhaps equivalent to the Roman Janus. He lived in the highest level of heaven.
The ani is also a bird, a black variety of cuckoo with a heavy bill that can be either smooth or ridged. Unlike other cuculids, it does not lay its eggs in other birds' nests.
Ani was also a city of medieval Armenia. It served as capital of the Bagratid kingdom from 886 to 1064. The city was slowly abandoned after the fourteenth century, and is now known for its well-preserved ruins of medieval Armenian architecture.
