The name has a distinct and elegant sound, making it appealing to those seeking an uncommon yet classic choice for their child.
The name Annis experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a noticeable peak around the late 1800s to early 1900s. After reaching a high of 73 births in 1915, its usage declined sharply, dropping below 20 births per year by the mid-1940s and remaining relatively low since then.
