Meaning & origin
Annelyse is a rare modern name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1986, reflecting a late-20th-century trend of combining traditional names like Anne and Elizabeth. Its peak popularity occurred in 2014, but it has been falling in use since 2013, remaining a distinctive choice for parents seeking a melodic, compound name. With a 2025 rank of 9,457 and an estimated 1 in every 160,727 baby girls receiving the name, Annelyse stands out as uncommon yet familiar. The name has not been recorded in any top states, suggesting its use is scattered across the country. Its spelling with 'y' sets it apart from more common variants like Annalise and Annelise.
Annelyse first appeared in U.S. records in 1986, likely formed by blending Ann (from Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace') with Lyse, a short form of Elizabeth (Hebrew: 'God is my oath'). It follows the pattern of modern compound names like Annalise and Annelise, popular in the late 20th century. Its spelling with 'y' is a distinctive variation that emerged in the 1980s, possibly influenced by names like Elyse.
