Meaning & origin

Annakate is a modern compound name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1998. As of 2025, it carries a rank of 5722, meaning roughly 1 in 76537 newborns receive this name, and it achieved its peak rank that same year. The name blends Anna and Kate, two classics that have been staple choices for generations. While its trajectory is currently stable, its modest usage suggests a niche appeal for parents seeking a familiar yet distinctive double-barreled name. Because it is a modern coinage, its meaning is simply derived from its components. No top states have been recorded for this name, indicating its usage is thinly spread across the country.

Annakate is a modern compound name, formed by joining Anna and Kate. Anna has Hebrew roots, ultimately from Hannah, while Kate is a short form of Katherine, a name of Greek origin with uncertain meaning. The combination creates a double-barreled given name that follows a trend of blending classic names into new forms. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1998 and is used almost exclusively for girls.
