Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Annalise

Annalise is a modern coinage presumably created from the female names Anna plus a contracted form of Lisa. It appears as if this name is primarily used in North America and Australia rather than other English speaking countries. Anna is a name (like Mary) that has spawned scores of derivative names such as Annabella, Annemarie, Annika, Annie and Annalise. The name Lisa (and Elise) are diminutive forms of Elizabeth used among the French, Italians, Germans, Dutch and Scandinavians. Annalise is simply the output of the combination of names which have been in existence much longer.

Popularity

OF THE GIRL NAME ANNALISE

Annalise made her debut on the American female naming charts for the first time in 1997 so it’s safe to say that this is a pretty modern moniker for baby girls. It took a while for Annalise to find her legs on the charts but by now she’s reached levels of low moderation in terms of usage. This is not a popular name by any means, but American parents appear to be showing mild yet favorable interest in it as a potential name choice for their daughters. Although Annalise is a very newly created name, there’s something vintage and Old World about it. Particularly because Anne has been around since Biblical times and Elise is a familiar European variation of Elizabeth (another Biblical name). The name combination is fancy and feminine, and Annalise easily rolls off the tongue in a lovely, lyrical sort of way.
