Meaning & origin

Annalis is a modern combination name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1979, blending the familiar Anna and Lisa. It reached its highest usage in 2013 (peak year) but has followed a falling trajectory since 2012, with fewer babies receiving the name in recent years. Despite its decline, the name remains in occasional use, appealing to parents who favor melodic, compound feminine names. Its component parts give it a graceful, oath-bound resonance without being attached to a single ancient origin.

Annalis is a modern coinage blending Anna (derived from Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace') and Lisa (a short form of Elizabeth, meaning 'God is my oath'). It can also be considered a variant of Annalise, a combination of Anna and Lise. The name emerged in the United States in the late 20th century, first recorded in 1979, and saw peak usage in the 2010s.
