Meaning & origin
Anaisa is a modern, uncommon feminine name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1989 and saw its highest use in 1993, when it ranked highest. It has been consistently falling in popularity since 1992, with only about 1 in 123,636 girls receiving the name in 2025. Its origins are uncertain but likely stem from stylish phonetic elements rather than a single historical root, making it a contemporary choice that fits with other 'sa'-ending names. The name has not been recorded in any top states, suggesting a very scattered, low-frequency usage across the country.
Anaisa first appeared in U.S. records in 1989, likely a respelling or elaboration of Anaïs, the French and Catalan form of Anna, or a combination of Ana and Isa. Its rise in the 1990s aligns with a trend for melodic feminine names ending in 'sa' or 'isa'. No clear historical or linguistic derivation has been established before its modern use.
