Annaliese

Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Annaliese: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2013.

Annaliese is a beloved German compound name, blending Anna—from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning “grace”—with Liese, a diminutive of Elisabeth, which carries the Hebrew meaning “God is my oath.” Together, the name evokes grace and devotion, a melodic pairing that has crossed borders. One well-known bearer is Annaliese van der Pol, the American actress and singer celebrated for playing Chelsea Daniels in Disney’s *That’s So Raven*. While no major place names stem directly from this spelling, the root elements have inspired countless towns and landmarks across Europe. A common variant is Anneliese, with an extra ‘e’, both widely used in German-speaking countries and increasingly popular in Scotland for their warm, classic elegance.
