The "ana" means "again". Anabaptists were one of the first groups in America to re-baptize people who had been baptized as infants. They felt that baptism was symbolic, a statement of one's faith. Since an infant was unable to make that statement, they re-baptized believers as adults.

Groups that don't baptise are called Quakers, or Jehovah's Witnesses.

You want to put those two groups in the same breath, Juulie?
