History & Origin
Anesia is a variant name that can be traced to Anisia, borne by an early Christian saint of Thessalonica and linked to a Greek sense of fulfilling or completing, or to the Arabic Aneesa, meaning friendly or affectionate. The soft uh-NEE-zhuh sound made it appealing in the modern era's taste for flowing girl names, and it appears in United States birth records with a small high around the early two-thousands.
It has stayed rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high, so its bearers are mostly still young. Its dual Greek and Arabic threads give it more depth than its rarity suggests, though the plainer Anisa remains more familiar.
