Annelie
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Annelie: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1992.
A charming compound name with German and Scandinavian roots, Annelie blends Anna (from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning “grace” or “favour”) with Liese, a short form of Elizabeth (“God is my oath”). It first appeared as a variant of Anneliese in German-speaking regions and later gained popularity across Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. The most famous bearer is arguably Anne Frank (full name Annelies Marie Frank), whose diary brought global recognition to the name. Others include German Olympic hurdler Annelie Ehrhardt and East German documentary filmmaker Annelie Thorndike. While no major place directly bears the name, its root Anna appears in many place names, such as Santa Ana. The name also has the closely related variant Annelise, which is more common in France.
