Meaning & origin
Annelisa first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1960, and has never ranked among the top 1000 names. Its peak year was 2002, though even then it remained uncommon. The name has maintained a stable trajectory, never surging in popularity but also never fading entirely. As a compound of Anna and Lisa, Annelisa carries the combined meanings of 'grace' and 'God's promise,' giving it a gentle, classical feel. It is most often found in families with English, Italian, or German heritage, and its rarer variant forms include Anneliese and Annalisa. Parents drawn to Annelisa typically appreciate its melodic sound and the way it honors two beloved classic names without being overly common.
Annelisa is a compound name formed from Anna and Lisa, both of which have Hebrew origins. Anna derives from Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor,' while Lisa is a diminutive of Elizabeth, meaning 'God is my oath.' This blend became popular in the 20th century, particularly in English-speaking countries and Germany, as a modern yet elegant name.
