History & Origin
Anahis carries two heritages: in Armenia it honors the goddess Anahit, a deity of fertility, wisdom and water; in Latin America it recalls the Guarani legend of Anahi, whose spirit became the ceibo flower. Both routes are respected — which applies varies, which we note (said 'ah-nah-EES').
In the U.S. it appears rarely, in Armenian and Latin American families. Rare, mythic, and lyrical.
