Answer by  jmo (89)

Fecit means, literally, "he made it". Anno means year, often followed by domini - year of Our lord, A.D. Therefore, the words mean made in the year of. Often, the artist's name is included, or the specific year. This is often printed on violins, other instruments, works of art. This is a Latin phrase.

Fecit Anno is Latin language. The words mean 'Made year' and, properly translated mean 'made in the year of'. Normally followed by a year figure in roman numerals.

Answer by  pascaldg (16)

Hello, "Fecit" is latin (facere = to make) and "Anno" is latin for year. So it means "Made in the year" / "Production Date" it should have a number (year) after it ?!
