Meaning & origin
Anysia is an exceptionally rare name in the United States, first recorded in 1971. It reached its peak popularity in 2004, but has been in steady decline since 2005. As of 2025, it ranks 11,932nd nationally, with a frequency of about 1 in 229,610 births. The name has not been concentrated in any particular state, appearing among diverse geographic locations only sporadically. Its etymology remains uncertain, with possible connections to the name Ann or the Greek word for 'unequal'. Parents drawn to Anysia often appreciate its melodic, multi-syllabic sound and its resemblance to more established names like Anastasia.
Anysia is a name of uncertain derivation. It may be a modern elaboration of Ann or Anna, or a feminine form of the Greek name Anysius. The Greek word 'anisos' means 'unequal', but this connection is speculative. The name appears rarely in English-speaking countries, with its first recorded use in the United States in 1971.
