Annalou is an attractive and unique feminine given name of American origin, derived from the combination of Anne and Lou. It gained popularity during the mid-20th century, particularly among families seeking distinctive names for their daughters. The name Annalou consists of two distinct elements: 'Anna', which is a Latin-derived name meaning "favor" or "grace", and 'Lou', short for Louise, derived from French and meaning "renowned warrior". This naming trend reflects the parents' preference for blending classic and modern elements to create an appealing and individual moniker.
