History & Origin

Annamay is a compound name pairing Anna, from the Hebrew Hannah, 'grace' or 'favor', with May, a bright month name also used for Mary and Margaret. Written as one word, it belongs to the fashion for run-together double names that flourished in rural America a century ago.

It was always a modest choice, borne by only a handful of girls a year and cresting faintly around the early nineteen-twenties before thinning out, with a faint scattering as late as recent years. Wholesome and old-timey, it rides the gentle edge of the vintage double-name revival led by names like Marianne and Rosemary.

Did you know? Double first names like Annamay were an everyday habit in the early twentieth century, when a girl might be christened Anna May and have the two halves fused into a single flowing name on the record.
