History & Origin

Anniya is a spelling in the Aniya and Anaya group, girls' names popular through the 2000s. They draw on Ann, from Hebrew Hannah, 'grace', and on the Arabic Aniyah, tied to 'caring'. The doubled 'n' of Anniya nods to Ann while keeping the flowing, contemporary -iya finish.

It was never common, reaching only a couple dozen girls a year at its high near 2003 before fading. A girl given it then is now in her twenties. The Aniya family has cooled, and this doubled-n spelling reads as a name of that era.

Did you know? Anniya belongs to the big 2000s family of Aniya, Aniyah and Anaya, airy girls' names that pair a soft opening with an -iya ending.
