Spellings of Annalisa

#2514
Annalisa on the 2025 chart
#855
counting every spelling

The SSA counts spellings, not names. Annalisa went to 70 girls in 2025, but Analisa is the same name said out loud. Together the 2 spellings went to 105, which makes it the 855th most-given girls’ name of the year — 1,659 places above the chart.

About 1 girl in 15,307 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 22,961 for Annalisa 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
