Meaning & origin

Anie is a rare given name in the United States, first recorded in 1882, which remains its peak year of usage. It has not appeared in the top 1,000 names at any point, and its trajectory is stable with extremely low usage. In the 1880s, several girls were named Anie, but since then, it has been given to fewer than 5 babies per year on average. The name is primarily a modern English variant of Annie, and its top states are limited, reflecting its scarcity across the country.

Anie is a modern spelling variant of Annie, itself a diminutive of Ann. Ann derives from the Hebrew name Hannah (חַנָּה), meaning 'favor' or 'grace.' As a given name, Anie appears in U.S. records as early as the 1880s, though it has always been rare. Its usage remains sporadic, with no consistent ranking in recent decades.
