Meaning & origin
Analei is a modern American invention that first appeared on the U.S. Social Security Administration's records in 2003. Its popularity peaked in 2023, when it ranked 8,860th and was given to roughly 1 in every 146,115 newborn girls. Since that peak, usage has declined, reflecting the trajectory of many contemporary coinages. The name has no long historical roots and is primarily used in English-speaking countries. Parents drawn to Analei often appreciate its melodic sound and similarity to established names like Analise or Annalise, but with a more distinctive ending.
Analei first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2003 and is believed to be a modern coinage, combining elements from names like Ana (of Hebrew origin, meaning 'grace') and Lei (of Hawaiian or Chinese origin, meaning 'flowers' or 'thunder'). The name has no traditional etymology and is considered a creative invention.
