Meaning
blend of Anna and Lise (Elizabeth)
The story
Annalise is a graceful blend of two classic names, Anna and Lise, that has become a favorite in its own right. Anna comes from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning grace or favor, and Lise is a short form of Elisabeth, God is my oath, so the two together carry a lovely doubled meaning, gracious and God-devoted. The name has a soft German and Scandinavian elegance and appears in many spellings, Annalise, Annelise, Anneliese, each with the same flowing music. It shortens warmly to Anna, Annie or Lise. In the United States Annalise reads as current as it has ever been, part of the love of long, romantic feminine names that fold two heritages into one. Elegant and heartfelt, Annalise hands a child grace and devotion braided together in a single, singing name.

Not on the record in Spain, Mexico City, Argentina, Puerto Rico and Poland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.
Not on the Chile record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 5 registrations in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Montevideo record for 1940 to 2011: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the France record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 20 births in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Austria record for 1984 to 2025: Statistik Austria publishes every first name down to a single birth, so this name was not given there in those years (before 2010 the record covers babies with Austrian citizenship only). Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
