I was about to say the same thing. The tail on the first letter definitely looks more like J than T.

I asked an AI about possible origins of his name 'Anich'. One suggestion was:

Quote
A Latin-alphabet form of the South Slavic surname Anić, derived from the female given name Ana and associated with Croats and Serbs, and more broadly occurring in Slovenia and neighbouring regions within the Austro‑Hungarian Empire.
Boyd, Dove, Blakey, Burdon
