Our story of Annaleah
Ours, offered as ours. Leah gets a raw deal in Genesis — married to Jacob by a substitution, described as the less loved of two sisters, and given a name the tradition reads as weary. She also bears six of the twelve sons, and it is her line, not Rachel's, that produces both the priesthood and the kingship. Joining her to Hannah, whose name is grace, makes a compound with two of the more consequential women in the book in it.
Meaningscholars disagree
grace; weary
Anna descends from Hebrew Hannah, grace or favor. Leah is generally read as weary, though a connection to a word for a wild cow has been argued. Both halves are documented and the compound is modern.

Spellings of Annaleah
- #4067
- Annaleah on the 2025 chart
- #782
- counting every spelling
The SSA counts spellings, not names. Annaleah went to 35 girls in 2025, but Analeah, 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 — 3,285 places above the chart.
About 1 girl in 9,030 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 45,922 for Annaleah 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
