Meaning & origin
Annamae is a compound name blending Anna and Mae, popular in the early 20th century. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1896 and reached its peak in 1922, reflecting the era's fashion for double-barreled feminine names. The name has been declining in use since 2020, with a rank of 5238 in 2025. Annamae shows a strong regional association with Pennsylvania, which recorded the highest usage among U.S. states. Its trajectory indicates it is falling out of favor, making it a rare and vintage choice for modern parents.
Annamae is a compound of the names Anna and Mae. Anna derives from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor', while Mae is a variant of May, often linked to the month or the name Mary. As a double name or blended form, Annamae emerged in the late 19th century, particularly in the United States, as part of a trend combining two popular feminine names.
