History & Origin

Aneliese is one English spelling of the German Anneliese, a classic blend name. Its first half is Anna, from the Hebrew Hannah, 'grace' or 'favor'; its second is Liese, a short form of Elisabeth, from a Hebrew phrase meaning 'my God is an oath' or 'God is abundance.' Blends of this kind have been popular in Germany for generations.

Aneliese, in this particular spelling, was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak around 2008, though the fuller Anneliese was a touch more familiar. A girl named Aneliese then is a teenager just reaching adulthood today.

Did you know? Anneliese has long been a favorite in German-speaking homes, pairing two beloved names, Anna and the Elisabeth family, into a single flowing whole.
