Meaning & origin

Annlee is a modern blend name that first entered U.S. birth records in 2009, a time when compound and hyphenated names were gaining visibility. Its components, Ann and Lee, are familiar and traditional, but the combination is unusual. The name reached its highest usage in 2018, when it ranked 10,917th, with about 1 in 200,908 girls receiving it. Since 2021, its popularity has been declining. The name has not been recorded in any top states, as its rarity keeps it below statistical thresholds. While derived from established roots, Annlee remains a contemporary coinage without deep historical ties.

Annlee is a modern compound name combining Ann (a form of Hannah, ultimately from Hebrew ḥannāh 'grace') and Lee (from Old English lēah 'wood, clearing'). It first appears in U.S. records in 2009, likely arising as a fashionable double-name or portmanteau blend. The name has not reached widespread popularity and remains rare, with no established usage history beyond recent decades.
