History & Origin

Annell is an American elaboration of Ann, from Hebrew Hannah, 'grace', finished with the popular -ell suffix that also gave Annette, Danell and Janell. It belongs to the mid-century taste for taking a short classic and extending it into something freshly coined.

It was never common, borne by only a couple dozen girls a year around its high near 1951. It reads as a soft, homemade-sounding name of that generation.

Did you know? Annell keeps the ancient 'grace' meaning of Ann while adding the -ell ending that shaped so many mid-century American names.
