The story of Annalyse
German naming has joined two names into one since the medieval period — Anneliese, Marlene from Maria and Magdalene, Annemarie, Karlheinz — and the results are single names rather than double ones. Anneliese was very well used in Germany in the twentieth century. Annalyse is an American respelling that writes the second half phonetically, and it appears in the records from the 2000s.
Meaning
grace; God is my oath
Anna descends from Hebrew Hannah, grace. Lise clips Elisabeth, from Elisheva, God is my oath. German Anneliese joins the two, and both halves have settled meanings.

- counting every spelling
The SSA counts spellings, not names. Annalyse went to 33 girls in 2025, but Annalise, Analise and Analyse and the rest below are the same name said out loud. Together the 5 spellings went to 887, which makes it the 345th most-given girls’ name of the year — 3,920 places above the chart.
About 1 girl in 1,812 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 48,705 for Annalyse 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
