Meaning & origin

Anhthu is a Vietnamese name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1983, reflecting the wave of Vietnamese immigration following the Vietnam War. While the name has never ranked among the top 1,000 names, its peak year was 2006, when it saw its highest usage. The trajectory of Anhthu has been stable over time, indicating consistent but low-level use within the Vietnamese-American community. The name is a compound of elements likely meaning 'peaceful autumn', though this derivation is not universally confirmed. Its top states of use include California, Texas, and Virginia, areas with large Vietnamese populations. Anhthu remains a culturally meaningful choice that honors Vietnamese heritage.

Anhthu is likely a compound of two Vietnamese elements: 'anh' (peace, calm) and 'thu' (autumn). It is primarily used in Vietnam and among the Vietnamese diaspora. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1983, reflecting immigration patterns after the Vietnam War.
