Annelies is a feminine given name of Dutch origin, derived from the Middle Dutch name Annelaes, which itself is composed of the elements Anna (meaning "grace" or "favor") and Lies ("God is my oath"). This name has been popular throughout the Netherlands and Flanders, with notable bearers including Annelies Marie Frank, the young Jewish girl whose diary chronicled her experiences hiding from Nazi persecution during World War II.
"The name Annelies experienced varying popularity over the decades, with peaks in the late 1980s and early 1990s (8-10 births per year), but no single dominant year."
