Notes:
Her name on the birth/baptismal records is Ane Cathrine Christensen.
Ane Katrine (Brahe Christensen) Sorensen died from after-effects of childbirth in 1888, within a year after her daughter Ane Katrine Bothilde was born. Her son Julius used the name Brahe as a middle name for all his sons. The origin of this name within the family is uncertain; it is in parentheses in the birth record of her sister Maren, and is also written in Ane's marriage record to Soren. It may have come from the area around Grenaa-Ebeltoft, according to our relative Bodil.
Is there a connection with famous Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe? At this point it is only an intriguing possibility. Read about him at the following web sites (or simply do an internet search for his name):

Notes:
In the birth record, the first date appears to be 31 July but that is crossed out and underneath it says 1st August, I think. The father's name is Jens Christensen, and the name Brahe is in parentheses. The mother's name is given as Bodil Cathrine Nielsdatter.
Her confirmation record of 5 Oct 1873 also has Brahe in parentheses after her father's name.
