The story of Analeah
Leah is Jacob's first wife, given to him by a trick, and the mother of six of the twelve tribes; the text says her eyes were weak or tender, and readers have argued about the word for centuries. Anna is Mary's mother in tradition. American families joined the two, and Analeah appears in the registers in the 2010s.
Meaning
grace and weary
A compound of Ana, from the Hebrew channah, 'grace', and Leah, generally read from a root meaning 'weary' though the origin is debated. Both are genuine Hebrew names. The joining is a modern American practice rather than an inherited compound.

Spellings of Analeah

- counting every spelling
The SSA counts spellings, not names. Analeah went to 96 girls in 2025, but Annaleah, Analea and Annalea are the same name said out loud. Together the 4 spellings went to 178, which makes it the 782nd most-given girls’ name of the year — 1,208 places above the chart.
About 1 girl in 9,030 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 16,742 for Analeah itself.
Spellings are grouped by a fixed rule that folds interchangeable English spellings of one sound (ck/k, ph/f, x/ks, a non-initial y for i) and keeps vowels apart, so Sean and Shawn stay separate names. It errs towards splitting: a family here is never larger than the truth. SSA national data, 2025. Method
