It has remained stable in popularity, with a peak rank of 14,942 occurring in 2018. The name's one-in-321,453 frequency in 2025 reflects its niche but sustained use among parents drawn to the -leigh suffix pattern.

Like many creative respellings, it fits the broader trend of unique, phonetically crafted names.
Anzleigh is a modern American coinage, first recorded in 2005. It follows the popular trend of creating feminine names by attaching the suffix -leigh to existing names or invented first syllables. The name appears to be a respelling or variation of Ansley, itself a transferred use of a Scottish surname meaning 'hermitage field'. However, Anzleigh has no traditional etymology and is best understood as a modern, invented name.
