Annmari is of Finnish origin, derived from the ancient Norse elements 'annr' meaning 'gracious' and 'mari' which is a form of the Roman goddess of love, Juno. It gained popularity in Finland during the early 20th century, with notable figures such as Annmari Hella, a renowned Finnish actress and singer, contributing to its prominence.
"Annmari was quite popular in 1965, with five babies given this unique name."
